II. CONSEQUENCES FROM PERSISTENT MEAT-CONSUMPTION
The appalling risks
of impairing health through heavy consumption of meat are
multitudinous. Consistent report from World Health statistics
reveals extremely short life expectancies among people who consume
a great deal of flesh blood especially those who live on high
animal protein diets. They only live up to an average lifespan of
30-40 years and the people who come within this group are the
Eskimos; the Kinghiz (a nomadic Eastern Russian tribe); the
Greenlanders; and the Laplanders.
On the contrary,
scientists discover that the Hunzas, a tribe in north India and
Pakistan, are well-known for their non-adaption of disease and long
life, often reaching to the age of 115 or more. Their diets are
mainly of whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables and goat's
milk.
A British general and
doctor Sir Rob McGarrison who worked with the Hunzas wrote:
"I never saw a case of appendicitis,cocitis or cancer."
The Otomi Tribe
(Natives of Mexico); and Native people of the American Southwest;
all of whom subsist on low-meat cultures also enjoy radiant health,
stamina and longevity.
Significantly,
nations which intake the most animl product inevitably suffer an
alarming occurrence of diseases. The major of which are heart and
cancer invasions. The Finns, who consumed the most, had an average
blood cholesterol level of 265, had the highest death rate from
heart disease. Second-in-line were the Americans who eat about 125
pounds of fat per person per year (about 156 grams per day). In
Japan, where the percentage of fat-diet is lesser, heart-disease
rate is lower than in any other industralized nation.
