A vegetarian diet may be best for humans, really folks. (Part 2)Posted by Nick Niesen on October 26th, 2010 This is a continuation of my article on the same caption. Here we go, more harmful foods co-incidentally NOT in a vegetarian diet. The Vegetarian Diet: Avoided Products and Reasons Why (continuation) Milk: Contrary to the hype, drinking milk will not prevent osteoporosis. In 1995, the Harvard Nurses? Health Study conducted on over 75, 000 women revealed that those supposedly acquiring calcium from milk experience more fractures compared to those drinking little or no milk. Animal milk is for the animal's offspring and not you. Think about it. That being said, it is advisable to eliminate milk and all dairy from the diet for optimal health. Though I have read that raw goat's milk could be sufficient for nursing mothers to feed their babies, I'd say simply the milk in your mammary glands should be the most ideal . If for whatever reasons you feel like you cannot give milk up at least see to it that it is diluted and that you add some maple syrup to this solution. Some research indicates that sour milk is less harmful and may even possess laxative qualities. Still I think for the creaminess it might offer, basic Avocadoes or occasional Coconut milk as made by the Brazilians would be way better choices. Soy milk by the way is not much better than milk as they are basically legumes which are unbalanced protein-rich foods. -Honey: This over-promoted, overpriced product being sold to gullible health faddists should be eliminated from your diet. It is meant only for the bees that make it. -Eggs: Even worse than meats. Research has shown they are very constipating and its white is dangerous, acid forming and too high in protein qualities. -Fish: I?ve heard many people proudly declare ?I don?t do red meat just fish and poultry!? However, they are very mistaken in that; although for the reasons given above-meat is highly detrimental for consumption, Fish is even worse. It putrefies much quicker than meat. If you cut a piece of fish and meat side by side, you?ll notice that the former decays much quicker than the latter. Imagine what it?s like on the inside of the body. Moreover, taking into consideration the heavy metal contamination that fish contains-based on the pollution of their habitat, Fish is an especially bad choice, so do yourself a favor, avoid fish at all times if you can! Though some non-vegetarians show bodily vigor, they usually do not possess the vegetarian?s endurance and strength. Take a look at Bill Pearl, five-time winner of the Mr. Universe pageant. Even our distant cousins, the Apes in the wild, are vegetarians as well. After reading these factors, if you are still on the fence on how safe and healthy being a vegetarian can be for your health-or if you need to be convinced of its benefits-do not worry, becoming a vegetarian (a well balanced one that is) is definitely the biggest step you?ll be taking towards improving your health.
