Wonderful Post ! I really loved it!
I've researched much of this as well though some things you mentioned here I didn't have the real figures on.
If you look up what to do when you are sick or having any type of physical issue nearly at all. Things from collagen production to hair loss and color change, fatigue, colds, major diseases you name it, one thread links them all.
Nearly everything, even from doctors that say to eat meat, tells you to eat more raw fruits and veggies and stay away from meats, dairy and processed foods during the time of your issue.
Of course the doctors that promote eating meat will for some reason tell you to go back to eating it once you are better. LMAO
RE: Vegan or Paleo, that is the question
