What are the health benefits of being vegetarian or vegan?

Lydia asked:


I know there are lots of reasons to cut meat out of your diet. The one I personally find the most reasonable is for your health. I have met several people who have become vegetarian or vegan for “health reasons”.

So I’m wondering, what are these health benefits? Is meat not healthy? Why does cutting meat from your diet make you a healthier person?

    The fact is you can be healthy if your a vegetarian omnivore or vegan….being a veggie doesnt mean your healthier…..

    So to be honest there is absolutely no health benefits from having a well planned veggie diet to that of a well planned omnivorous diet

    Red meat has been strongly linked to cancer, high cholestrol and heart disease.

    Why do people always say we have the teeth to eat meat? We don’t! Could we really bite through flesh the way, say, a dog can? No.
