Go Vegan for Health | Vegan Health and Weight Loss

Now we are going to go over a second reason
that you can go vegan: HEALTH. The wealth

of research and information on the health
of being vegan is absolutely astounding. The

little titbits I’m about to go over don’t
even come close to scratching the surface.

Let’s start with a list of diseases from
a diet rich in animal products: high cholesterol,

coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke,
obesity, asthma, high blood pressure, large

bowel disorders, various cancers, gall stones,
coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, kidney

disease and dementia.

Vegans have a ridiculously lower incidence
of the diseases I just mentioned; but wait,

I have the perfect argument here: I know this
one person that went vegan and they died.

Before you contribute this life-changing nugget
of research, just take a moment and think

about the significance of that statement.
Well, if veganism was so healthy and eating

animals was so detrimental wouldn’t doctors
be saying something about this? They are – and

no, they are not hippie doctors or gym healers,
these are medical doctors. Dr. T. Colin Campbell

has spent over forty years as a scientific
researcher doing federally-funded studies

for organizations such as the American Institute
for Cancer Research, The American Cancer Society

and the National Institutes of Health.

Dr. Campbell says: “other research shows
that various cancers, autoimmune disease,

bone health, kidney health, vision and brain
disorders in old age (like cognitive dysfunction

and Alzheimer’s) are convincingly influenced
by diet. Most importantly, the diet that has

time and again been shown to reverse and/or
prevent these diseases is the same whole foods,

plant-based diet that I had found to promote
optimal health in my laboratory research in

the China study.”
Then there is the fact that 95% of all food

poisoning is related to animal products and
then we have things like the swine flu, the

bird flu and the mad cow scare. Have you ever
heard of a “mad melon scare?”

As Gary Yourofsky says “Lettuce doesn’t shit.”

Now, for the men out there I know that you’re thinking,

“well, I have to be manly and virile and so, I need to eat meat.”

Think about this: animal products are high in fat. Diets high in fat restrict blood flow in the body, blood flow

(think about it) is absolutely essential for
your most manly of man organs.

In other words, vegans do it harder and longer.

Let’s be honest, what is most convincing
is a good “before” and “after” story.

Ooby wasn’t always vegan, so let’s take
a look at the difference that this diet has

made in her life: so, here she is before vegan
[showing a “before” picture of her dog]

and here’s the radical change after [showing
an “after” picture]. If that isn’t enough

to convince you, here are some people who
are vegan.

So, maybe you don’t care about animals,
or the environment, or feeding the hungry;

do it for the most American reason – no,
the most human reason: your ego.

So, that wraps up our little nugget on health.
I’m headed to the gym, Ooby is going to

rest, and we will see you next time for the
third reason to go vegan.
