Ξεκίνησε και πάλι να κυκλοφορεί στο διαδίκτυο το άρθρο του “έγκυρου” tilestwra σύμφωνα με το οποίο οι χορτοφάγοι εμφανίζουν διπλάσια ποσοστά σε αλλεργίες, καρκίνο και ψυχικά νοσήματα.
Αν πάντως κάποιος δίνει βάση στις έρευνες, καλό θα είναι να τις κοιτάξει συνολικά. Γιατί όλες οι άλλες έρευνες που έχουν γίνει και τις οποίες παραθέτουμε, έχουν ακριβώς αντίθετα ευρήματα. Για ποιο λόγο λοιπόν κάποιος επιλέγει να πιστέψει την μία έρευνα με το ελάχιστο δείγμα και όχι τις αμέτρητες άλλες;
Ο λόγος είναι προφανής. Επειδή αυτή η έρευνα επιβεβαιώνει αυτό που θέλει να πιστέψει. Ότι δεν τρώει κρέας επειδή αδιαφορεί για την κακοποίηση που προκαλεί αλλά για λόγους υγείας. Η αλήθεια όμως είναι διαφορετική…
12ετής έρευνα δείχνει ότι οι χορτοφάγοι έχουν λιγότερες πιθανότητες να πάθουν καρκίνο
Έρευνα που έγινε σε 73.308 άτομα από το 2002 – 2007 και έδειξε ότι οι χορτοφάγοι έχουν πολύ καλύτερη υγεία και λιγότερες πιθανότητες να πεθάνουν από οποιοδήποτε λόγο σε σχέση με τους παμφάγους. –
