Book excerpt: Research has shown that vegans are the longest-living group in the world, with the lowest rate of heart disease, cancers and osteporosis. Supported by up-to-the-minute medical evidence, this book demonstrates how the havoc and disease caused by the Western diet can be remedied by the simple omission of certain foodstuffs. This simple act can also alleviate environmental destruction (as more and more forests are cleared for animal grazing, for example) and the needless suffering of animals.
