10 Reasons to Stop Eating Beef (and other Fast Food)

The basic truth is Amino Acids...

Our bodies have the ability to produce all the proteins we need but there are 10 (currently recognized) amino acids that we MUST get from food

Back in biology (a long long time ago in a galaxy...) we were taught that the body needs 42... (the universal answer ???) We could manufacture all 42 if we had 7 amino acids...

If just ONE was missing, a whole group could not be created leading to all sorts of problems and deficiencies and disease.

I have seen vegetarians sick all the time because unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing, a veggie diet will ensure you miss some vital elements

Hindus may worship cows... but they drink the milk thus ensuring they get that amino acid group.

American do eat too much meat... it has been estimated that 80% of Americans walk around with 10 to 20 pounds of putrified meat in their intestines... Talk about health issues from tat

But I think its dangerous telling people to stop eating meat without PROFESSIONALLY giving the alternative that is needed to replace the missing amino acids


Sadly doctors in the US do not care about prevention... No money in keeping people healthy

As to the animals PITA ran a campaign showing Col Sanders as a mad butcher and ran an ad saying you were a child molester if you fed you kids hamburgers.

Needless to say that kind of mentality serves no one

And don't you be wearing any leather shoes or belts... or I might think you a hypocrite

Amino acids is an interesting point.Thanks for bringing it.
I am quoting (again) Stewart Swerdlow: He says that even animals that live out of a veggie diet, let's say cows or whatever,
get their dose of animal protein with multitude of insects scattered in the grass.

It seems that animal proteins are essential for optimum health.
When i said the needs where different depending on the bodies type, i was quoting Dr J. Mercola sayings that there are 4 nutritional types.

take care.

Agreed. Even for those who dislike meat, they should eat cheese and yogurt and probably even a few eggs from time to time. A vegan diet is not suitable for the human animal in the long run, although with care it can be maintained for a while. In time the deficiencies will manifest.

Yes quite true... and that applies to medications as well, something I have noticed doctors seem to ignore.... You will see a prescription filled for a small frail old lady being the same as a 6 ft 280 lbs 30 year old body builder

Same dosage... no regards to age, body type, absorption etc...

Same for food... cravings help... its your body telling you what you need. Another big mistake many make (especially here in Vegas Land of the Buffet) is mixing too many foods in one meal. This can cause weird reactions.

They also discovered that calcium is absorbed by the body better in the presence of vitamin C and have now added Calcium to orange juice

We are basically a chemical factory

Market does weird things too like the VC from Acerola cherries is better than the VC from oranges Pure Ascorbic acid is the same no matter where its extracted from...

Ok. But if Magnesium is absent, Calcium cannot be properly absorbed.
It seems that people in industrialised countries are in a deficit of this mineral.

There is a fragile equilibrium at play here, between these 2 elements.
