>If you go vegan it'll be better for your health

Don't believe everything you hear from random people until you verified the information yourself.

I wish somebody warned me about the dangers of all Vegan diets while I was young, but it's too late as I am now *living* with stage 2 colon cancer.

> Long term vegetarian diet changes human DNA raising risk of cancer and heart disease

Long term vegetarianism can lead to genetic mutations which raise the risk of heart disease and cancer, scientists have found.

Populations who have had a primarily vegetarian diet for generations were found to be far more likely to carry DNA which makes them susceptible to inflammation.

Scientists in the US believe that the mutation occured to make it easier for vegetarians to absorb essential fatty acids from plants.

But it has the knock-on effect of boosting the production of arachidonic acid, which is linked to inflammatory disease and cancer. When coupled with a diet high in vegetable oils - such as sunflower oil - the mutated gene quickly turns fatty acids into dangerous arachidonic acid.

The finding may help explain previous research which found vegetarian populations are nearly 40 per cent more likely to suffer colorectal cancer than meat eaters, a finding that has puzzled doctors because eating red meat is known to raise the risk.

>do not contribute to your risk of cancer and heart disease, like ‘real meat’ does

Sadly, this is where you are very, very wrong, my friend. I know this first hand.

I've am a life long Vegan diagnosed with Colon Cancer just a few years ago. I am deathly afraid of facing chemotherapy in the next few months....

I really wish I know how bad Singular diets are for you years ago. Here is a recent study from Cornell.

I was just diagnosed with stage 2 Colon cancer and I'm only fucking 22... fuck me and fuck life.

I've been a fairly strict vegan all my life with my parents and have never eaten anything as disusing as a burger in 5 years, and now I have cancer...

WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY WARN ME ABOUT THIS SHIT?!??!?!

I just learned about what long term veganism does to your body and metabolism...

WTMF?!?!?

If they knew about this why didn't they warn anybody? Too much profit to be made by agriculture?

Fuck Monsanto

I've been a vegetarian for the 34 years of my life, thinking it was the healthy way to live.

Now I have colon cancer.

WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY WARN ME?!?!?!

Just found this research study from Cornell...
