Why do so many people die of heart attacks in there 40's and 50's still to this day?
Why is lipitor(cholesterol) the #1 prescribed drug in America? insulin is likely close behind..
I'd say that you are more an exception than the norm. I'm 43 and have seen many close to me dieing early deaths because they ate a meat based standard American diet(SAD).
My father died of heart failure at the age of 57. A close friend of mine died at the age of 41, while working on an assembly line at a local factory, dropped dead instantly among his coworkers from a severe brain aneurism.
Whether its the cooked saturated fat that is a proven health destroyer or the addition of meat preservatives in processed meats like sodium nitrate, meat is a health destroyer. Unless you are able to eat only the healthiest cuts which not many people can afford nowadays.
Not only is my vegan diet far cheaper, it is reversing the health woes that my former SAD, meat-based diet created. Health is cheaper and easier in the long run.
