I do buy the claims that a vegan diet can help reduce the risk of cancer. As for it curing a cancer, that's got to be up there with homoeopathy hasn't it?

I have had lung cancer which half my lung was removed.. I was NOT put on Vegan diet. I also had prostate cancer 16 years ago which I had 3 ops and radiotherapy which put it into remission until last year when it came back again and I am having injections and tablets to combat it. STILL no vegan diet was prescribed so in all I think what you say about a cancer cure by going on a vegan is a load of b0llocks. I will stick with my oncologist and the treatment he is giving me.

No idea, it wasn't my point.

Still, welcome to the forum, you don't have to post entirely in here, you're welcome in all the threads.

For years Doctors prescribed low fat diets for people with Heart Disease. Not quite that simple though eh?

Im a Palace fan, and a 'vegan', although I dislike the stigma around that word sos prefer just to say I follow a plant-based diet.

I differ from the 'usual vegans', as I dont have blue hair, i'm not anti-market Marxist or 'loonie leftie' - but I genuinely believe a vegan diet has helped me in numerous ways.

I think people who are so closed minded to the idea should perhaps educate themselves, before formulating such a strong opinion on something they know next to nothing about.

Although I have numerous motives behind it; one that may shock you is a hereditary predisposition to cancer. Meat and dairy consumption are directly correlated with cancer rates, across the world, with numerous cases of cancer being CURED by a complete change in diet. No i'm no whacky that preaches peace etc, its just a subject that is very hard to find information on, but once enlightened, the facts are truly gobsmacking.

E.g. Showering for 2 months is the equivalent amount of water for a QUARTER OF A POUND OF BEEF, does that not even make you think?? Or that our intestines are longer, larger and are designed to process foods for longer period; we share similar digestive systems to herbivores, e.g. We do not have a predominant set of canines, like dogs.

Have a read and educate, before labelling others and questioning their motives - have you ever asked yourself why you eat meat? Tradition, taste and convenience...
