I have had a few people in a cooking forum I am a part of tell me its healthier to eat no meat with healthy food having a plant based food regimen while most of them were saying you need meat with healthy foods witch is healthier then having no meat at all. I prefer to eat what is heathier either way so witch one is it if anyone here knows? Also a exersize site I am a member of said its healthier to eat no meat and that you can still acheive the gains you want with no meat so that makes me think there may be something to it. Also years ago on the aint no god forum(the owner was steve rider) that I was a member of, I think if i remember right I made a thread about this or something similar and someone told me about this man proffeshional body builder who apperently proved or showed that you don't need meat to be healthy or look muscular. He made a book about it and that made him famous. I dont recall his name.
It is healthier to eat no red meat as heme iron is found almost exclusively in red meat. Heme iron is widely agreed to be causing colon cancer, and there is quite a bit of evidence that it somehow causes breast cancer as well.
A vegetarian diet is also less likely to be too high in saturated fat and less likely to be deficient in vitamin K, although it goes without saying that it doesn't have to be (some vegetarians eat a lot of coconut-based products, which are very high in saturated fat).
