As just explained above your hypothesis is flawed like whatever hypothesis.
Quote:Tell me, what % of cancer victims in Hindu regions in India are vegetarian. Does that mean vegetables cause cancer?
India has changed very much in the last 30-40 years.
Less and less people have remained real vegetarian with some exception like in Gujarat so the statistics can be very confusing.
Not long time ago i came across a Gujarati male nurse.
After a friendly chat i asked him.......are you vegetarian?
He was a bit embarrassed at the question but then he said......i was vegetarian but as i came to Australia and all my friends eat meat i also started eating meat.
You keep talking about your experiences (especially in a hospital as though this is a meaningful basis for fact-- it's not). You haven't identified how you know who's vegetarian, you don't have a list, you don't have stats from your hospital or anywhere else.
You've also failed to CONTROL for correlation. For example, if someone is overweight and a meat-eater, and shows up in a hospital, what caused the disease? Is there a relationship betweeen heavy meat eating and other hedonistic tendancies, like alcohol consumption or cigarette smoking? Is there a socioeconomic relationship? Isn't it true that most Western vegetarians are younger than their meat-eating counterparts?
You need to stop pulling "facts" out of your ass, and spend some effort doing research that properly controls for these variables. If you don't, you're just another ignorant asshole with opinions founded on a hunch. I propose that I and everyone else in this thread respond to you only in terms of a list of basic logic errors that you make in each post. There's no need to address your ideas, because they are not connected to any identifiable reality.
