People still mistakenly believe that eating a lot of protein from meat hurts your bones.
The reason is that some studies found that people would lose lots of calcium through their urine after eating protein.
Scientists have speculated for decades on the reason for all that calcium leaving people’s bodies. Way back in 1968, a piece published in The Lancet theorized that you use calcium from bones to counter the acidity produced when you break down the meat you eat when you digest it.
And the theory stuck.
But just speculating it was “because of meat” doesn’t make it true.
Converted Die-Hard Vegetarian
More and more die-hard vegetarians are becoming meat eaters. Why the change of heart? It’s simple: They’re plumb tired of being sick and tired.
“For 14 years I felt sick, nauseated, and bloated,” says Lierre Keith. She’s the author of The Vegetarian Myth, one of the most important books on this subject. “Anything I ate became a bowling ball lodged in my stomach.”
Her stomach was distended because her digestion was damaged from her vegetarian diet. To fix it, she had to return to eating meat…
Atkins Without Beef…What's Next?
Have you heard about this “Eco-Atkins Diet” that a bunch of researchers dreamed up to please vegetarians?
Dr. Atkins must be rolling over in his grave.
These veggie-wackos want a diet that offers “Atkins without animal fat.” They call it, “Eco-Atkins.”
Holy cow!
The Atkins Diet is all about eating animal protein. So how do you eat a high-protein diet without animal fat? Turns out we’re supposed to bulk up on soy burgers and wake up to the smell of vegetarian bacon – whatever that is!
