Qoute: Michael Houston PHD, Professor Emeritus of the University of Texas Health Science center concerning veganism ....... "Perhaps 10 to 15 percent of the world wide human population have a metabolism that can be successful being completely free of animal products in there diet"
So that 84% rate of failure tracks pretty darn closely with the professors statement.
And Debrah.....if those 15% who can stay healthy on a vegan diet are happy with it....I'm happy for them! But it just doesn't work for the majority of the world population.

Isn't it interesting that Texas Midland Memorial Hospital started encouraging their patients to adopt a plant vegan diet than? I think that was about a year ago and they not only encourage patients to chose the vegan options, but they are offering classes that are open to staff and the public on how to make the transition.
As well, a quick search will find the following hospitals and medical communities that are now offering/studying plant based diets for the sake of helping people with chronic diseases to recover.
Florida’s Good Samaritan Hospital
Texas Midland Memorial Hospital
Stony Brook University Hospital in NY
Aspen Valley Hospital
Barnard Medical Centre in Washington
Bellevue Hospital in NYC
And Oregon lawmakers have passed a bill requiring all their hospitals to offer vegan meals.

So it would seem to me that the health benefits are obvious to most medical practitioners. And as more and more fabulous testimonials show up that prove those benefits, the more information will spread, that meat is literally, 'a dead end'. The following FB page has all kinds of testimonials from people whose health was improved by not eating meat or dairy.

And for the record, I haven't eaten meat for about 25 years and at 64, I'm thriving.
