That should be a huge red flag. A vegan diet means you take in ZERO cholesterol, cut cancer risk, remove yourself from the demand for animal cruelty, and leave a much lighter footprint on the environment. If your food has to come with an antidote like statin drugs, it's time to wake up. Boycott cruelty and live healhier. GO VEGAN!
