A plant-based diet is proven to be healthier and more efficient for weight loss and for maintaining weight loss.
There are tons of testimonials where people from all walks of life have been able to lose weight, feel more energetic, and even wean off of prescription medications.
The World Health Organization has determined that 30% of cancer cases are caused by improper diet, and countries with a higher intake of fat from meat and dairy products are proven to have a higher incidence of cancer.

According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a vegan diet contains more protective nutrients that prevents more chronic diseases. Compared to vegetarians, vegans are thinner, have lower cholesterol, and lower blood pressure.

Oh and did I hear animals?
Over 56 billion farm animals are killed each year. This number does not even include sea creatures that are caught and killed.
As for eggs - every chick starts out at a hatchery. Since male chicks are deemed useless since they cannot hatch more eggs they are suffocated, gassed, or minced alive at a day old.
As for the females that survive this, they are kept in tiny wired cages not even wide enough for them to turn around. Oh, and if you're feeling good about your "free-range" chickens, they can legally be kept locked up in a shed with thousands of others.Then the moment they start laying slightly fewer eggs than before, they're slaughtered.
Male cows are mostly killed at birth or raised briefly until they can be slaughtered and sold as veal.
50% of female cows develop mastisis and lameness because of the terrible conditions they are kept in since they are made to produce more milk than their bodies can handle. Cows have about a 25 year lifespan but most are killed by 5 after being tortured their whole lives.

If you still think that eating meat is better than:
Improving your health
Increasing your lifts
Saving animals

Then enjoy the whey that is literally just leftover crap that couldn't pass for the milk carton

Broccoli, kale, leafy greens in general have a surprising amount of protein and you'll have to eat quite a bit but you should be eating a substantial amount anyways

eX VEGAN FAG.
Vegan IS better. IF you do it right.

However, it is hard to get a well rounded vegan diet. Most people will end up with deficiencies because they simply don't know the vitamin/mineral content of all their food, and don't/won't go through all the effort to fine tune all aspects of their diet.
Supplements - as is pretty widely excepted on fit - are not an adequate substitute for the nutrition we get from our animal products.

A complete(mostly) animal based diet is better than an incomplete vegan diet - which is what most people will have.

I beleive that we should all cut down A LOT on our animal products, and think about what we eat.
But a fully plant based diet is impractical and too much effort for most people.

I find the biggest issue is people think it's all ro nothing with Veganism. Vegans try push full veganism down peoples throat, so they reject it all.
Eating less meat should be the focus, not cutting it out completly.
Morals are arbitary and there's a lot of issues with plant products that are bad for animals and the enviroment.

But it's a lot harder to outright reject the economics and the health effects of excessive meat consumption.

>>39683605
Sorry, not the best grammar, I'm working and replying and back to working
Anyways, meant to say:
I agree that most people need to be more aware of their meat consumption and cut it down
I get that vegan* (whoops, wrote "meat" before) lifestyle isn't going to work for everyone
So the goal is to even slightly raise someone's awareness on how much meat and especially dairy they're putting in their bodies.
imo dairy is the worst part of a meat-eating diet

"Fact: Yes, some breast cancer grows in the presence of estrogen, and yes, soy can act like estrogen. But there’s no direct link saying soy can cause cancer. In some animal studies, pure isoflavones, the compound in soy bearing the chemical similarities to estrogen, have been shown to promote tumor growth"

>>
>>39683647
There are an incredible amount of issues with how our lifestyle hurts animals and the environment
And I agree that expecting someone to give up meat and dairy cold turkey is simply a recipe for failure
Which is why the point is to try and make you think twice about that fried steak and how much/how you're preparing it rather than make you want to give it up completely
Let's face it, meat is good, there's no denying it, but eating fried chicken and steak in a pool of butter is not so good

"According to new findings from the Shanghai Women's Health Study, soy food intake provides protection against premenopausal breast cancer when consumed during adolescence and as an adult. The usual dietary intake of 73,223 Chinese women during adulthood and adolescence was assessed after a mean follow-up of 7.4 years. Those with the highest intake of soy protein or isoflavone versus those with the lowest had about half the risk of premenopausal breast cancer regardless of age at time of consumption. No significant association with soy foods was found for postmenopausal breast cancer."

Yes, but i'd say that suggesting a vegan diet - a complete cut out of meat and animal prodcuts - is the wrong way to make people think about what they eat.
It seems to just make people stick their head in the sand and lash out at veganism - because is suggests that their world view and dietary lifestyle is completely false.

It's better to suggest eating more plant based foods and less animal products, rather than to say all animal products are bad (even if they are)

Also - to put it plainly - most people don't give a fuck about animal welfare.
To be honest, most people don't give a fuck about human welfare.

Look at what we do to each other, let alone what we do to animals

>still pushing the vegan meme

Humans are omnivores, eating a diet rich in animal fats helped to develop our bigger brains. Animal fat is an essential component to healthy skin and hair.

Having said that, I agree that people ought to cut down their consumption of red meats and think more about ethical animal husbandry. But if you are trying to tell me that it's healthier to be vegan please commit Sudoku.

Ha, did not even give a thought as to human welfare, thanks for bringing that up! You are definitely right, the way I see people treat each other nowadays is horrifying
And then the idea to reduce the hate replies is by citing medical journals that back it up
Of course, as you said, though, it's ridiculous to assume that most people will take the time to read the medical journal or even the excerpts provided, but if it gets even one or two people to add some beans and broccoli to their plate rather than chili cheese fries then I'd consider it a success
>>
>>39683862

Sure enough, I do not each much meat myself besides poultry or fish.

The claim that a diet based only on plant nutrients can somehow be healthier than a balanced diet that includes some animal protein and fats is laughable though.

"Data from the Adventist Health Study showed that nonvegetarians had a substantially increased risk of both colorectal and prostate cancer than did vegetarians (23). A vegetarian diet provides a variety of cancer-protective dietary factors (24). In addition, obesity is a significant factor, increasing the risk of cancer at a number of sites (25). Because the mean BMI of vegans is considerably lower than that of nonvegetarians (8), it may be an important protective factor for lowering cancer risk.

Vegans consume considerably more legumes, total fruit and vegetables, tomatoes, allium vegetables, fiber, and vitamin C than do omnivores (14–16, 20, 23). All those foods and nutrients are protective against cancer (25). Fruit and vegetables are described as protective against cancer of the lung, mouth, esophagus, and stomach and to a lesser degree some other sites, whereas the regular use of legumes provides a measure of protection against stomach and prostate cancer. In addition, fiber, vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids, and other phytochemicals in the diet are shown to exhibit protection against various cancers, whereas allium vegetables provide protection against stomach cancer, and garlic against colorectal cancer. Foods rich in lycopene, such as tomatoes, are known to protect against prostate cancer (25)."

Eating poultry and fish, especially in reasonable amounts, is not a bad thing at all
A vegan diet is beneficial to someone that already has health concerns, needs to lose weight, or is at risk of developing a chronic condition
Eating meats without excess fat or all the add ons (oil, butter, etc) can be part of a perfectly well balanced diet

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic....

I wouldn't consider it laughable at all.

A plant based diet CAN be just as good as a conventional diet.

It just often isn't, because it can be difficult and our entire dietary culture is based around animal products.

If you consume the right nutrients from a plant based source, then you will be as healthy as someone that consumes the right nutrients from animal based sources.

Tbh, simplifying it to Plant>Animal or Animal>Plant is wrong.
It's about What plant or animal products you're consuming.

"Micronutrients of special concern for the vegan include vitamins B-12 and D, calcium, and long-chain n–3 (omega-3) fatty acids. Unless vegans regularly consume foods that are fortified with these nutrients, appropriate supplements should be consumed. In some cases, iron and zinc status of vegans may also be of concern because of the limited bioavailability of these minerals."

That was in the abstract of the linked paper.

Hmmmmmm, I wonder where one can get these other essential nutrients... Maybe a little tuna and cottage cheese?

I am not disputing that a diet rich in veggies and fruit is a bad thing.

That's exactly right, you can still be a vegan and have a shit diet if you're eating fries and oreos all day
On the other hand you can have a conventional diet with fairly healthy foods but if you're covering it in cheese, butter, and fat like you so often see in those recipe videos that clutter my facebook, then it's still a shit diet
>>
>>39684180
There are plant based sources of these micronutrients. But most people won't know or even think to check if they're deficient, or know what those plant based sources are. That's the danger of a vegan diet.
It needs thinking about - more thinking than a mixed diet.


Also - why the fuck is fish not considered meat? Always confused me

No one said being a vegan was a perfect diet to end all disease and create the perfect being

imo going vegan is a good way to get there if you're not already
For those on this board that are overweight and looking for advice on how to lose it, or have developed chronic diseases from weight gain then I'd recommend going vegan 100% of the time because chances are, once you've hit your goal, you'll be much more aware of the foods you're eating and will have a better time staying that way
>>
>>39684276
>imo going vegan is a good way to get there if you're not already
You mean vegetarian right? Vegan is unhealthy as fuck. Regardless I think it'd be easier to cut back on meat rather than cut it out all together, unless you have a family history of problems, or have problems yourself already like you said.

You're not supposed to eat a block of cheese a day anon. Having a slice on a sammich or shaving some cheese in your eggs wont give you cancer.
>>
>>39684408
Point being, yes, it does have nutritional value, but you can find the same nutrients in other foods that are going to be all around healthier, a glass of milk isn't going to kill you but heaps of cheese on every meal will hurt you
>>
>>39684462

seriously though
is there any study of these that the conclusion isn't "we followed people who ate meat and people who didn't for ten years and at the end more people who ate meat had heart attacks"

>>
>>39684501
I mean, quite a few people do manage to include it in every meal and in excess amounts.

As I had said somewhere else before, I would only recommend going vegan to you if you were staggeringly overweight or if you had a chronic disease (triggered by obesity)
>>
I do acknowledge that eating meat/not being vegan is unethical, unhealthy and is destroying our planet, but I'm too lazy and weak to follow a strict diet.

I stopped buying meat but I still eat it when I'm at uni or when I'm offered. I eat quite a lot of eggs but quit dairy products some months ago.

>>39684594

http://www.pcrm.org/health/cancer-resources/diet-cancer/facts/meat-consumption-and-cancer-risk

This article cites multiple studies, one of which was conducted over 7.4 years, another over 11 years.
In this particular one, they're studying the correlation between a plant vs meat diet and cancer buuuut there ya go!
>>
>>39684598
>eating meat/not being vegan is unethical
no it's not unethical, there is an ends to a means to eating meat, death is a reality of life

it is better to confront death in the face and realize that we will have to kill millions of animals even if nobody eats their meat at all because we have to to survive and live the way we do
>>
>>39684150
through what mechanism?
what is the exact biochemical mechanism that elevates the risk?

there is none. high childhood dairy intake points to poor parenting and low income which points to bad genetics and low quality living/working situations+environmental triggers. all of these things could account for increased risk of any type of cancer.
>>
>>39683039
A pure vegan diet is impossible for most of the planet it also has it's own share of health problems
Lastly, a good chunk of the planet was murdered(I'm talking a full genocide on the microbes in the rich living earth that gives the world life and the native flora and fauna) and rendered completely incabable of sustaining any life without human intervention for centuries all to put two more ears of corn on your plate.
>>
>>39684624
But we can survive (even better actually) without killing animals, and to me it's even not about the killing but rather about the shitty conditions which the animals have to endure so you could have your 10lbs of chicken for cheap
>>
>>39684607
It's really not hard to follow through on this diet, first off

secondly, again, the point is that this is a solution to help yourself learn to eat healthy in general

I've never spoken to someone trying to diet that hasn't given in within two weeks and gone out for burgers and icecream or something similar
The point is that if you tell yourself you're changing your lifestyle with this and can realize the multiple benefits, then it'll be easier to lessen your red meat/dairy later.
>>
>>39684658
>But we can survive (even better actually) without killing animals,
no we can't actually
because wildlife management is a fact of life

do you have any idea how many deer and woodchucks apple farmers (for instance) have to shoot? If you live in a city and eat food you are doing so because someone somewhere is killing the animals trying to eat your food and killing the animals that would otherwise go into your city and eat your pets, children and potentially you

>>
>>39684621
but those studies if you took the time to look at them are exactly the type of studies i described

this is always the massive issues with dietary science people with agendas pick up information and try to say the science says something it actually doesn't. In fact his problem crops up frequently in science for laymen climate change being an excellent example

>But we can survive (even better actually) without killing animals
I somehow doubt we'd have enough land to convert to fields for the mass amounts we'd need to feed everyone.

Also who really gives a fuck if they're living life if we still kill them in the end? Whats the point of giving them a fulfilling lifestyle?
>>
>>39684694
and again it doesn't matter because all that livestock will have to go somewhere and all that agriculture will continue to disrupt habitat and wildlife management will have to continue on an even larger scale

this idea of no more ranching is not a realistic way of doing living and I don't think killing animals is ethically preferable to not killing animals because again it is about why we are doing it and actually taking responsibility for the impact you have on the world and not just burying your head in the sand and eating cornflakes and saying "well at least i'm not killing anything directly."
>>
>>39684749

What you don't hear about in mass plant farming is how many insects are mulched harvesting crops, how many moles and small mammals are caught in threshers, tillers, and how much fossil fuel energy it takes to get the plats growing, out of the ground and to your table; the difference between farms switching from animals to plants is pretty negligible to your ethics meter when you really take a close look at the numbers.

Just eat meat, it's fine.

Nice retort I love the fall back to calling me faggot.

Processed food is garbage.

Most of my meat is locally sourced. I know my farmers I have rubbed my bacon before it became bacon.

I am perfectly okay with killing and slaughtering an animal and have done it many times.

Vegans are the most annoying people they are even worst then that guy that used to smoke who has to remind everyone who smokes how bad smoking is and no I have never smoked and that guy is an asshole like you.

>vegan
>health problems

literally what.

Anyways:

The problem isn't the diet , the problem is the people that attempt to implement the diet on THEIR terms instead of doing it "correctly" <--( this is the key word ladies and gents).

Most people are too lazy to even look up basic minerals and their core functions. everyone is just used to having food being prepared for them and slopped in front of their faces for their entire lives. Whats baffling is that just because it tastes good, there are people who will blindly defend it.

I understand that some people just cannot do it, due to whatever reason. Skewing the line , however, between one's opinion and whats been proven via medical documentation is where the line has to be drawn friends.

it costs more resources (water, landspace, grains, etc) to fatten up animals for slaughter. starvation in third world countries could be seriously addressed if more people frequented the butcher less and put a piece of green in their mouths.

There are people out there that still smoke knowing the risks. If you want to consume animal products , go for it, the red carpet is out for you. Just dont lie to yourself while doing so.

try researching both sides of the spectrum in regards to dairy consumption.

Dairy milk's sole purpose is to help baby cows grow into strong adults, it was not biologically designed for humans.

Cancer isnt a genetics problem , its a diet/environmental problem (i know ethanol from gas stations is a good example) as you previously stated.

Casein, which is one of the primary components of whey which is found up to 80% abundance in milk, is the trigger point that sparks the initial cancer growth in cells.

No I am not slow, but you just changed the argument which is fine.

If you want to include land used to grow food for livestock you have to consider why that land is being used as such. Depending on the feed and type of animal that crop is being used to replenish the soil.

I get it you read some whit on a website and now you think your smart. No your just another idiot that has no context to where there food comes from.

Health risks to a balanced diet. Really you can do better.

Not worried about colon cancer at all one of the easiest to treat especially for people who are checked regularly.

Even if I where to agree with you that I would live longer vegan which I don't. Having to eat vegan for the rest of my life would not be worth the 5 minutes I would gain from it. Every study you use to say your healthier is based on the average diet of those not vegan.

1) Veganism is only healthi(er) because most other people don't give any thought to what they eat, besides taste.

2) Humans are at the top of the food chain and taking advantage of animals is how we've progressed so far.

3) Veganism is being used for political power and for creating the new generation of liberal voters. Some people actually believe that 51% of greenhouse gases come milk and meat industries, because the UK green party said so, even though the U.N. says it's 19% and the EPA says it's 9%.

"Our" animal products... do you listen to yourself? Only retards end up with deficiencies because they don't bother to look into anything, and it sounds like you are saying that a meat-based diet prevents deficiencies, when instead it exacerbates them through high acidity which in turns leaches nutrients, meaning bioavailability is down from the get go.

From a purely nutritional standpoint, this is somewhat okay (not in the longterm, however, as dairy is what causes osteoporosis through acidification). Morally it is unjust to eat the flesh and droopings of enslaved animals.
You can easily replace kefir with coconut milk for similar macros, chicken with tempeh or marinated tofu (DIY, not the pre-marinated, expensive shit) and whey with rice/pea/hemp/soy protein.

>Lunch or Dinner (3): Burritos (rice, beans, avocado, tomatoes, bell pepper...lots of versatility)

One thing to keep in mind on a vegan diet is basically everything you eat will have lots of fiber. This means a rough transition period of shitting if you don't chew your food thoroughly or aren't used to eating much fiber. This also means you will get full with a lot less calories. It's common for people to lose weight on vegan diets simply because the foods aren't calorie dense (besides nuts, which are still rather filling). If you don't like beans, learn to like them, because they are very important to get enough protein.

Yes, most studies of this type would control for BMI.

The problem with vegan studies is this when compared to the average they miss a true compactor which are people on the other side of the coin that are eating balanced diets and are concerned about long term issues.

I have see eggs be good, bad, whites good and yoke bad and on and on they jabber when the real answer is balance.

Same argument can be applied to smoking (and it was in the past). Sure smoking 1 cigarette a day probably won't do much, but it's definitely an increased risk factor that is easily avoided. Same thing with eating red meat or drinking milk. People become vegans because they can accept living a life without any amount of these animal products, and not suffer because of it. There are so many wonderful flavor and spices out there that people seem to just ignore, while insisting that not eating meat would be terrible because it's too extreme.

>The problem with vegan studies is this when compared to the average they miss a true compactor which are people on the other side of the coin that are eating balanced diets and are concerned about long term issues.

While I think it's nutty to say that vegans are all focused on eating healthy (vegan junk foods are a huge market and plenty of people go vegan purely for ethical reasons), some of the best vegan studies do make an effort to compare healthy-conscious vegans to health-conscious omnivores. The vegans still end up healthier for the most part.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4073139/

And eggs, like meat to some extent, are unhealthy for mostly well understood reasons, like the cholesterol and saturated fat content being bad for the heart.

>Same argument can be applied to smoking
No, it can't be. Alcohol it can be, but not smoking.
Glass of wine a week wont kill you. Smoking is pure cancer.
Beef patty once a week wont kill you. Nor will eating meat/fish a few times a week.

How can people be so delusional and afraid of eating meat or having dairy?

Sure. I'll enjoy occasionally eating meat and living a healthy life, because I know moderation.

>A complete(mostly) animal based diet is better than an incomplete vegan diet - which is what most people will have.

Also, a complete (mostly) plant based diet is better than an incomplete animal diet.
Really, a complete (anything) based diet is better than an incomplete anything-else based diet.

I have 3 sisters all vegan, they have been trying their best to make me come around to their way of thinking..
I currently eat a mostly plant based diet, but supplemented with chicken, tuna, eggs and cheese.
Feels way better than when I was eating meat as the main component of every single meal, and is much more fulfilling both nutritionally and ethically.

chicken breast is pretty clean, egg whites are pretty clean, so are most fishes like sardines which provide omega-3 oils which are healthy for your skin.

Its impossible to get all the nutrients you need from a meatless diet. Not enough EPA/DHA in flax, no creatine, no b12, no carnitine. That doesnt even include the minerals you'll have to supplement.

We evolved to eat meat. Our ancestors painted pictures on cave walls of them hunting.

But go ahead, have fun with your roundup ready soy, corn and wheat!

>We evolved to eat meat.
This
Vegans always argue
>muh teeth
and
>muh organs
and tell us we aren't biologically designed for a carnivorous diet
Maybe we came from fruit+nut eating monkeys or whatever,
but the fact is the majority of the human race has been eating meat for 15,000+ years and we have evolved to require it as part of a balanced diet.
Yes, you can *survive* on a vegan diet- and shit, maybe you'll even live a longer and healthier life, but without meat you will never thrive in the very slightly shorter time that you spend here.
>>
>>39689063

Of those, only B12 is an essential nutrient, the rest your body make. B12 is most reliably gotten from supplements whether you eat meat or not.

https://www.ars.usda.gov/news-events/news/research-news/2000/b12-deficiency-may-be-more-widespread-than-thought/

>That doesnt even include the minerals you'll have to supplement.

Good, because you don't need to supplement minerals

>we evolved to eat meat

We evolved with meat as a useful food that provided calories and other nutrients in places where food was scarce. In the modern age, it's not an ideal food to have as a regular, prominent part of your diet.
>>
>>39689096

>Maybe you'll even live a longer and healthier life
>Without meat you will never thrive

I'm curious as to what your definition of "thrive" is.

Humans may have evolved to eat meat, but that doesn't make it the optimal diet for longevity and illness prevention.

No man... "correctly" is not the key.
The key is "RAW"!
All animals in this planet besides us are eating raw. Well us and Dogs and this is why Humans and then Dogs have the most diseases.
If we would eat raw, we would be strong and healthy. Ancient Greeks (spartans) were eating raw and they were strong and anytime ready for battle. Leonidas was 60 years old in the Battle of thermopiles!
Eat raw motherfuckers and live the longest as bad motherfuckers. Pussies

>Seventeen male odor donors were on "meat" or "nonmeat" diet for 2 weeks wearing axillary pads to collect body odor during the final 24 h of the diet. Fresh odor samples were assessed for their pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity, and intensity by 30 women not using hormonal contraceptives. We repeated the same procedure a month later with the same odor donors, each on the opposite diet than before. Results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the odor of donors when on the nonmeat diet was judged as significantly more attractive, more pleasant, and less intense. This suggests that red meat consumption has a negative impact on perceived body odor hedonicity.

Lucky I don't eat red meat then.
Mate I wish I could say I was serious, but I'm kinda half trolling here because you keep asking damn questions that I'm sick of answering.
I'm not entirely vegan but I eat a heavily plant based diet, the only animal products I consume are chicken breast, tuna, eggs and cheese- and only occasionally they are not part of my daily diet just 2-3 times per week.
Though I have been told by a few different women that I smell, but that it's a good smell, so maybe it's only red meat that makes you smell unattractive as well.

Mostly agreed. I only eat eggs as ingredients in other recipes, not on their own.. and cheese well shit, I just can't give it up. It is literally scientifically proven addictive-tier. But I don't eat much of it, pretty much 20-30g in a salad or with tomato on toast.

A vegan diet is, like any extreme diet, unhealthy and shit.

What a surprise that it is better than a American fatties diet right?
It's still less healthy than a balanced, normal diet.

>summary of first video
eating more of a mediterranean type diet can significantly reduce peoples' chances of having a heart attack but it doesn't even come close to the success whole food vegan diets have had in treating heart disease
>summary of second video
the diet the usda recommends was designed to mimic vegetarian diets for their blood pressure lowering benefits while still containing some meat so more people will stick to it, but meat and even dairy were shown to increase blood pressure and vegans have been fouind to have as little as 1/4 of the risk of developing hypertension

a normal balanced diet isn't designed to be the best possible diet, it's a compromise between being healthy and being tasty and easy to follow. but more serious dietary changes = better results.

i'm a vegan and i'm afraid of soy causing increased igf-1 levels which doesn't cause cancer but allows for cancer cells to grow faster. i can easily use soy to hit that golden .8g per lb of lean body mass but i'm really searching for something to use other than soy products and beans. beans are great but its a bit much, also it'd be like 150g of dietary fiber which is somewhat mitigated by adequate hydration but still, there must be better ways besides soy products and beans. are pea and brown rice protein powders the only other alternative guys?

So I can eat red meat and eggs then since I have fine cholesterol levels and an optimal blood pressure.

I've never met a vegan who is healthier than me. They're usually just skinny fat, have shitty hair, bad skin and complain about tiredness and insomnia.

How safe is drinking milk? I heard it increases the chances of prostate cancer. Is 250 ml a day too much? That's the only diary product I consume, apart from some butter (~10-20 g) once a week.

there are sooo many alternatives to milk. I have switched to spelt milk and I love it. and instead of butter I use margarine if I really need it.

think about it: you're not a baby cow. you don't need milk from another species.

I also do not consider vegan as a healthy choice. I believe it unnecessarily removes great nutritional sources, but when compared to the "average" diet (Everything Else Lumped Together). The vegan choice while flawed is better than the average.

Whatever you mean by "fine cholesterol," it may not be ideal cholesterol levels or protect you from a heart attack.

http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/majority-of-hospitalized-heart-75668
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lakaozfALho

Interestingly, red meat and eggs are so un heart healthy that they can promote plaque formation separately from their effects on cholesterol levels
