hi i'm ex 6.5 year vegan.

There's many reasons you could have felt sick and then switched diets and felt better- it's unfair to assume that whatever made you feel worse was plant protein.

Let's break down some animal protein myths, in a few parts"

---

You've probably heard protein described only as good & healthy.

YSK high protein = more cancer.

• "High-Protein Diet Raises Cancer Risk As Much As Smoking. People who eat a high-protein diet during middle age are more likely to die of cancer than those who eat less protein, a new study finds"

There's lots of complete protein plants.

A few plants with complete protein include:

• Soy.

• Rice combined with beans.

  Most beans are low in methionine and high in lysine, while rice (both brown and white) is low in lysine and high in methionine. Put ’em together and whaddaya got? Protein perfection.

• seitan (wheat gluten)

• quinoa

• bread with hummus>

  The protein in wheat is pretty similar to the protein in rice, in that it’s lacking only in lysine. But chickpeas have plenty of lysine, giving us all the more reason to tuck into that Middle Eastern staple: hummus and pita.

And so on. There's lots of rare grains that have complete protein.

Similarly:

• "If you swap all that animal protein for an equally diverse diet of plant-based proteins like nuts, seeds, and beans, you are no worse off. That's because these foods are also packed full of a similar spectrum of nutrients."

In other words, if you felt you lacked complete protein (as a vegetarian) the only way you could have done that is avoiding examples like the above- avoiding a balanced diet.

Next, plant protein is healthier:

• "Plant protein has more nutrients and fiber... pound-for-pound, they pack more nutrients into fewer calories. They also have one thing that animal proteins completely lack: fiber. (Except for things like tofu, which is processed, Giancoli notes.) Let’s not forget the fiber. Fiber aids in digestion, promotes a healthy gut microbiome, and is strongly associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk."

— https://www.popsci.com/plant-protein-healthier/

• "One recent such analysis in the Journal of the American Medical Association noted that "Substitution of plant protein for animal protein, especially from processed red meat, may confer a substantial health benefit" and advised that policies promote plant proteins."

I'm sure (if you're against vegetables) that you've seen lots of "studies" saying saturated fat isn't unhealthy, these studies are misleading. They are comparing random food (eg cake) to saturated fat instead of healthier fats and complex carbohydrates:

The Australian Heart Foundation:

"Is saturated fat healthy now?

What has fuelled much of the interest in fat are studies which find that saturated fat is not associated with heart disease. And if there is no association, then saturated fat must be healthy, right? But is this really the case?

The short answer is ‘no’. Reducing saturated fat alone, without considering what it is replaced with may not be beneficial and doesn’t tell the whole story...

Evidence demonstrates that reducing saturated fat and replacing it with unsaturated fat improves cardiovascular risk factors and reduces the risk of heart disease. Next, replacing it with wholegrains improves some cardiovascular risk factors and reduces the risk of heart disease but not to the same extent as unsaturated fat. Next, replacing it with refined carbohydrate does not improve cardiovascular risk and does not reduce the risk of heart disease."

Eskimos:

Similarly, YSK Eskimos have high rates of cardiovascular disease. And they always have- even hundreds of years ago - which we know because frozen bodies found of eskimo people had cardiovascular disease.

Low carb diets are sick in like every way.

Low carb diets are linked to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc compared to vegans:

ScienceAlert.com:

Researchers who presented at that conference studied the self-reported eating patterns of nearly 25,000 people in the US and compared their results with studies involving more than 447,500 people.

Again, they found that those who ate a moderate amount of carbohydrates were more likely to live longer than either low-carb or high-carb dieters.

Our study suggests that in the long-term, [low-carb diets] are linked with an increased risk of death from any cause, and deaths due to cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and cancer," Maciej Banach, a professor at the Medical University of Lodz in Poland who helped write the study, said in a release."

Cyrus Khambatta: (Nutritional Biochemist PhD)

“There are a whole host of studies now showing that people who eat low carbohydrate diets, diets that are high in meat especially processed meat over a long period of time from 5 years, to anywhere to 15 years, end up suffering increase risk from chronic diseases, like hypertension, high cholesterol (atherosclerosis risk) chronic kidney disease, hypothyroidism, cognitive decline (risk for Alzheimer’s/dementia) later In life, insulin resistance, diabetes, cancer, you name it.”

Diabetes:

The people most likely to recover and avoid diabetes are people on low fat diets with lots of starches, eg rice like the Japanese.

The study mentioned here was published by the American Diabetes Association, showing that low fat diets (despite eating rice, carbs, sugars, etc) reduce diabetes. This is essentially just doing what Japan has been doing for many decades where they have some of the lowest diabetes rates in the world.

---

Dairy:

Similarly, we were all told we need dairy. (eg for bone health and so on.) YSK many asians never consume it and are fine.

Similarly, the Canadian government is now promoting plant based proteins and they no longer consider dairy as a healthy food group.

Lost benefits:

Consider the endless studies linking plants to good health. eg:

• "People who eat diets that are high in fiber have lower risk of death and chronic diseases such as stroke or cancer compared with people with low fiber intake, a new analysis found." [1]

pls try to understan that vegan is an agenda not sure whose but they are not good people.

Wow, vegans are "not good people."
