Ironically, this isn't the case. Animal products contain large quantities of saturated fat, cholesterol, and protein and no dietary fiber. The impact of this diet on human health has been devastating. Fortunately by observing a low-fat diet free from animal products, these diseases can be commonly prevented, consistently improved, and sometimes cured. The most profound benefit to be gained from reduced consumption of animal products is the resulting reduction in the risk of heart disease.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among nations with high consumption of animal products.
The risks of many forms of cancer are reduced when the consumption of high-fat animal products is reduced. Food Contamination Competition and the constant drive to expand markets has led to production methods that increase output while compromising food quality. Tremendous amounts of pesticides are used today in growing livestock feed. Certain of these pesticides are stored in the body tissues of the animals that ingest them. Humans ingest significant quantities of these concentrated poisons when consuming animal products.
