Hi Damo,
Thanks for your extensive comment. I really appreciate people that take the time to sit down and get such a detailed answer out.
It appears like we have a lot in common. I agree that so much disease is a result of animal product consumption.
Although I studied biomedical science and some nutrition during my uni days, I'm still developing my knowledge base. I wasnt aware of the cascading effect that you mentioned but I am aware of the effects of calcium leeching from excess proteins (animal protein) and the cancer promoting effects of insulin growth-like factors particularly found in dairy. Very scary.
Sometimes you just need to be that happy, healthy person for people to ask;
"You're looking great! What's the secret?"
That's the phase I'm going through right now. I still get silly comments at work, but I do not engage angrily anymore. It just doesn't work.
Thanks again for stopping by. I really appreciate your support!
All the best,
Nick.
