Animal protein worse than smoking?!?!

Vince · Sep 4, 2017

These type of sensationalized stories pop up all the time. Never, ever rely on just one study to prove anything.
Here's a good rebuttal to the study from Dr. Eades.

For those who don't want to spend the time watching "What the Health?" here is a news report on the study that the documentary mentioned that linked protein consumption to cancer.

The researchers looked at more than 6,000 people ages 50 and older, and followed them for 18 years. They found that people ages 50 to 65 who ate a diet rich in animal proteins during middle age were more than four times as likely to die of cancer during the study period than those who ate a low-protein diet, according to the study published today (March 4) in the journal Cell Metabolism.

"What the Health" is the most pathetic vegan propaganda ever made.

Propaganda is a good thing

Actually, there are rebuttals to the rebuttal, if you care to go down that rabbit hole. The whole of the Internet got stirred up by "What the Health?" which was probably the intention.

I don't know how the word "propaganda" got such a negative connotation. The word originally comes from the Catholic Church's Office for the Propagation of the Faith, in other words, evangelization. So, not a bad thing, at least in the Church's eyes. And Marxists always made a distinction between propaganda and agitation, the former being more intellectual argument and latter being stirring people up emotionally.

Oh, please. Do you think attempted murder is "evangelization"? How about firebombing people's homes?

From Robb Wolf's rebuttal:

One of the people featured in the movie did prison time for harassment and was the founder of an animal rights group that is known to have done everything from physical intimidation of people they disagree with, to firebombing houses of employees of the same.
