It’s been proven. That doesn’t mean I’m going to stop eating meat. You have to have meat. It’s that simple. A chicken breast is the best source of protein especially when you work out in an attempt to grow muscle tissue.
Vegetarians are 12% less likely to develop cancer than meat eaters, according to research published in the British Journal of Cancer.
In a study of more than 61,000 people, Cancer Research UK scientists from Oxford followed meat eaters and vegetarians for over 12 years, during which 3,350 of the participants were diagnosed with cancer.
They found that the risk of being diagnosed with cancers of the stomach, bladder and blood was lower in vegetarians than in meat eaters. The most striking difference was in cancers of the blood including leukemia, multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The risk of these diseases was 45% lower in vegetarians than in meat eaters.
