The most important dietary changes to make in protecting arteries from atherosclerosis include avoiding sources of saturated fat, such as meat and dairy products. A decrease in atherosclerosis resulting from a pure vegetarian diet (no meat, poultry, dairy or eggs), combined with exercise and stress reduction, has been proven by medical research. So-called “Mediterranean” diets (high in beans and peas, fish, fruit, vegetables, bread, and cereals; and low in meat, dairy fat, and eggs) have also had remarkable effects in reducing the risk of dying from heart disease.
1. fish are meat
2. are all meats considered to be high in saturated fats?
2. I bet that maintaining one's diet, whatever it is, and decreasing stress and exercising will also greatly reduce the risk of dying from heart disease.
Female vegetarians have been reported to have lower estrogen levels compared with meat-eating women, possibly explaining a lower incidence of uterine and breast cancers.
That's a pretty definitive "possibly"....love to see the research behind a result that says "possibly".
After going through the rest of it.....umm, it is so riddled with vague assertions with no backing data, it is really pointless to address. What you posted is exactly what I mean by no "credible" studies. |
