Excess consumption of animal based food products has lead to higher rates of heart attacks, strokes, certain cancers, and diabetes according to hundreds of studies (not well covered by food industry subsidized mass media channels). For references to these studies, see web sites of Neal Barnard, Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., and T. Colin Campbell.

If you do not think that excess consumption of animal based foods contribute to prostate cancer, breast cancer, stroke, heart disease, and diabetes, then let me know and cite sources.
