to Omo: many supportive links regarding scientific studies
were disallowed by curezone because I am a relatively new poster. PCRM dot org for instance is a society of tens of thousands of vegan physicians. John Harvey Kellogg MD did tests on the billions of colon bacteria or ecoli in meat... in the 19th Century. The US Govt in a 7 year study found in comparing vegetarian 7th Day Adventists to nonvegetarian Mormons (neither group advocating smoking or drinking) that the average vegetarian Adventist lives 7 years longer than the average nonvegetarian Mormon. There are thousands of scientific studies which establish the truth of what I have written.
