Depends: Most vegetarians are what are referred to as lacto-ovo vegetarians. They eat eggs and dairy. However, animal products have been reliably linked to breast cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Best is to avoid animal products completely, and eat a diet of plants, also avoiding any processed oils and sugars. Hope this helps!
