Usually, the first thing a country does in the course of economic development is to introduce a lot of livestock. Our data are showing that this is not a very smart move and the Chinese are listening. They are realizing that animal-based agriculture is not the way to go.... We are basically a vegetarian species and should be eating a wide variety of plant food and minimizing our intake of animal foods.

No chemical carcinogen is nearly so important in causing human cancer as animal protein.

The people who eat the most animal protein have the most heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

Protein during promotion trumps the carcinogen, regardless of initial exposure.

Everything in food works together to create health or disease. The more we think that a single chemical characterizes a whole food, the more we stray into idiocy.

We now had impressive evidence that low protein intake could markedly decrease enzyme activity and prevent dangerous carcinogen binding to DNA.

Quite simply, the more you substitute plant foods for animal foods, the healthier you are likely to be.
