The consumption, and for some, overconsumption of meat, particularly red meat, increases the risk of certain diseases (such as colon cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, or type 2 diabetes). The links between red meat consumption and these chronic diseases were highlighted by ANSES (French Agency for Food, Environmental, and Occupational Health and Safety) in its latest report.

The WHO has officially classified red meat as a probable human carcinogen, and processed meats (deli meats, nuggets, corned beef, cordon bleu, etc.) as definite human carcinogens.

A study conducted by scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health highlights that eating too much meat, especially red meat, deli meats, and other processed meats, is associated with a risk of mortality and major chronic diseases, particularly coronary heart disease.

By tracking the health of 43,000 men over 30 years, the study also shows that replacing red meat with quality vegetables [whole grains, legumes, nuts] just once a day reduces the risk of heart disease.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) agrees, stating that excessive consumption of red meat (beef, veal, pork, goat, lamb) and cured meats (sausages, dry-cured ham, bacon, etc.) increases the risk of colorectal cancer. The heme iron they contain is responsible for promoting lipid peroxidation, leading to the formation of aldehyde, a compound harmful to DNA and cells.

Furthermore, nitrites, an additive that gives ham its pink color, are thought to lead to the formation of N-nitroso compounds (nitrosamines or nitrosamides), which are carcinogenic.

Furthermore, the saturated fats in meat also tend to clog arteries and promote cardiovascular disease.

Red meat accelerates the aging of our arteries. The more red meat we eat, the faster our arteries age.

“Nothing will do more to increase the chances of survival on earth than the adoption of a vegetarian diet.” Albert Einstein.

The intelligent person, confronted with the various sufferings of life, seeks to understand the relationship between them and himself, for all suffering has a source.

The right question is: “What have I done to suffer so much, and what must I do to make it stop?”

God answers: “Thou shalt not kill.”

With this simple command, the Lord commands that no one's life be taken, human beings of any kind (white, black, yellow, red, mixed race), land and aquatic animals, and plants in their entire diversity.
