Dairy products are causing cancer.

[Rheghead]

Human beings are not natural meateaters. And humans have only consumed dairy since the birth of agriculture a mere 10,000 years ago. Whereas humanity is much older, human beings have been around for about 150,000+ years during which we ate a mainly or exclusively a vegetarian diet.

We are the only creature to consume the lactic secretions of another species, and certainly, we are the only creature to consume milk into adulthood. If you think about that for a minute then you may be able to realise how unnatural consuming dairy products really is. What is unnatural is usually bad for us and i am convinced that is why our bodies are trying to tell us that via incidence of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Our meat eating and dairy consumption is a choice or learned behavior, it certainly isn't instinctive.

Our physiology is definitely that of a herbivore. Our closest relatives the great apes are almost exclusively vegetarian, some 2-3% of the chimpanzee diet is from animals and about 60% of that comes from insects. We have herbivore dentition. The length of our gut is long like a herbivore some 10 times longer than our body unlike a carnivore which is 3 times longer. Our jaw opening is limited compared to carnivores who can really open there jaws wider than their heads. We have hands not claws. We sweat, we do not pant like carnivores. Carnivores lap their water, herbivores generally sip their water like we do. Carnivores can generate vitamin C from their bodies, herbivores like us need to have it in our diet. We mix our food with saliva which has lots of enzymes in it, carnivores do not chew their food and there are no digestive enzymes in their saliva. Our stomachs consists of 25% of the volume of our digestive tract like most herbivores, carnivores have larger stomach in relation to their digestive tracts, some 60% of the total volume. The pH of carnivore stomachs is about pH1 compared to ours which is comparable to other herbivores, some pH4. Our livers are not optimised to deal with the retinol vitamin A that comes from animal products. This vitamin A can be harmful to humans in large quantities. However, carotinid vitamin A that is found in plants is completely beneficial to the human body. In fact palaeontologists have discovered that early humans suffered from hypervitaminosis A toxicity because of the meat eating. Also, athersclerosis is the hardening of the arteries with cholesterol. Only hervivores who are fed animal products seem to be affected from this disaese. Carnivores are unaffected by athersclerosis. So it seems we are behavoral omnivores which betrays our herbivore physiology.

As you can see the list of confirmatory evidence that we are herbivore by physiology is extensive, so the next time you hear a meateater defending their carnist diet by pointing to their canines then you will find their ignorance particulary amusing...
