Is the plant protein in veggie burgers healthier than animal protein?
Animals including dairy cows are fed antibiotics, hormones and grains loaded with toxins. The animal then concentrates these ingredients 1000:1 in their fat cells. The medical field is now faced with children coming into hospitals developing prematurely. S. Sukmar, PhD head of the Johns Hopkins research department on breast cancer gave a talk, at Veggie Fest Chicago 2009, describing the state of young children coming into the hospital. She attributed their premature sexual development entirely to the over consumption of animal products. On the positive side, the World Health Organization has shown worldwide the direct correlation of increased consumption of unrefined plant foods, the kind used in veggie burgers, to a decrease in deaths from heart disease and cancer. This was also found in the most comprehensive study published to date the China Study.
