A member asked:
Do you think meat and dairy cause cancer and advertisements are a lie about milk n meat being healthy. is veganism the idle diet for humans?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's complicated: There is strong evidence that meat and dairy can increase cancer risk but not all meat and dairy is created equal. Grass-fed beef without hormones or antibiotics can be healthy in moderation, as is organic chicken,wild salmon,raw cheese from grass-fed cows, organic pastured eggs etc. A vegan diet will have nutrient deficiencies without supplements.See http://tinyurl.com/nq4sx63 for much more info.
