A member asked:
Are meat and milk bad for your health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is no net nutritional value from either meat or milk. The "protein" in meat and "calcium" in milk is negated by the fats, cholesterol, and hormones/chemicals. You can get all the limited nutritional value from either meat or milk plus far more from fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, and whole grains. Dozens of studies over the last 20 years have shown this to be true.
