Despite unscientific denials from those attached to eating dead animals, a wealth of studies exist that demonstrate that the risk of developing cancer is increased significantly among those who eat an animal based diet - whereas it is lowered significantly by those who eat a vegan diet. Here we look at some of the details...

Only 3 years ago, the World Health Organisation declared that meat can be carcinogenic:

Twenty-two experts from 10 countries reviewed more than 800 studies to reach their conclusions. They found that eating 50 grams of processed meat every day increased the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. That’s the equivalent of about 4 strips of bacon or 1 hot dog. For red meat, there was evidence of increased risk of colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancer.

Overall, the lifetime risk of someone developing colon cancer is 5%. To put the numbers into perspective, the increased risk from eating the amount of processed meat in the study would raise average lifetime risk to almost 6%.

This was no surprise to those of us who have studied this topic using information in an unbiased way, instead of blindly trusting in the advice from 'experts' who may or may not be being directed by vested interests or by their own bias. There are many examples from lived experience of people who have developed cancer on a meat focused diet and who have reversed the cancer after naturally detoxing and switching to veganism - without surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Some of these people have gone on to become teachers and it is largely only their lack of academic 'accreditation' that has meant that they are not more widely heard and understood.

Cancer is a metabolic and energetic imbalance in the self, so holistic healers understand that we must address ALL sources and forms of imbalance within the person if we are to resolve the disease - it is not simply enough to drink a few green smoothies and stop smoking. That said, green smoothies and stopping smoking will certainly help!

Eating dead animals, while being widely socially accepted for a long time, is NOT balanced on ANY level. Aside from the obvious overpowering and suffering of the animals involved - the eater will be ingesting stress hormones from the animal and to my understanding, the material itself is not really ideal for the human digestive system. The simpler compounds found in plant foods and the absence of parasites and other toxins make plants, generally, a wiser choice for health.

Scientific Studies

---

I appreciate that many people will reject any kind of information on such topics unless it has been 'peer reviewed' (ignoring that even members of peer review boards have gone on record stating that peer review processes cannot be trusted and also that meta studies of the quality of scientitic papers in general has shown that the vast majority of them turn out to be wrong). So, with that in mind, here are a couple of interesting new videos from Dr. Michael Greger at Nutritionfacts.org on the topic of carcinogens and meat.

The first video covers studies relating to the topic in general (children's exposure to eating meat should be hugely limited):

The second video addresses the question of whether organic meat is less of a risk than non organic meat (hint: no, organic meat is not safer than non-organic meat):
