Okay, as promised, I made another disease post. This should be the final one, unless I find more sometime in the future, but anyways...
Tumors are not only caused by meat, because of the fact that most meat that is put into production, that is diseased, is not thrown out but also cooking it could cause these tumors as well. Whether it be frying, grilling or boiling meat or fish, it will produce heterocyclic amines, which I have talked about before. This substance is formed from amino acids and the keratin from the muscular substances in meat. As we should all know (some what know) tumors or cysts are made from keratin. This is something most known by people, as to, what these growths are made of. And if you didn’t know that before...you know it now. Heterocyclic amines have been found to have considerate amounts of genotoxic and mutagenic potential. These heterocyclic amines can form cancers and tumors such as; colon carcinoma
(a tumor), stomach cancer, prostate cancer, esophagus cancer, kidney cancer, pancreas cancer and breast cancer. All of these diseases have been associated with heterocyclic acid in medical writings.
Aside from the heterocyclic acid, our bodies form another carcinogenic acids in our intestines while digesting meat. The University of Hohenheim conducted studies that found having a diet high in fats and meat increases the toxicity of fecal water in the intestinal area.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or, more commonly known as Mad Cow Disease. This disease causes the spongy areas in the brain and spinal cord to degenerate. The disease is fatal and can take anywhere from 30 months to 8 years to become apparent. Mad Cow Disease is not only infections through consumption but also through the spinal cord, digestive tract and brain of the infected carcasses. It can also be found in every tissue and every last bit of blood in the infected cows. In humans, the disease is known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Hundreds of people from the United States to Great Britain have been affected by this disease and thousands of cattle, as well. The disease is from cattle consuming the meat and bone meal of sheep infected with scrapie, which is disgusting. The explanation for this disease is really, incredibly long but it’s caused by a misfolded-protein called Prion.
Avian Influenza, or, the bird flu is a disease that can mutate and infect humans. This disease causes flu-like symptoms that usually lead to death, in humans. The disease can be transmitted from contact of any sort, birds consuming infected animals as well. The disease can last, on a surface, for up to ten days! I am not entirely sure what causes the disease.
Some terrifying issues with meat are lesser known, parasites. These nasty organisms burrow their way into our bodies and feed off of us.
Tapeworms are found in beef, pork, and fish, mostly. These parasites can grow from just 2 centimeters to 25+ feet. You can have one tapeworm or you could have hundreds. They usually live in the intestines, feeding off of your food You can get these tapeworms from consuming undercooked meat, touching infected meats and touching infected feces. This parasite can usually only be killed through medication prescribed by your doctor, but sometimes they come out on their own. They may leave the body from any extremity; nose, mouth and down-south region.
Cysticercosis, is when a parasite travels from the intestines to other parts of the body. The parasite, the males, are released into the intestines when the larvae mature, the females stay and produce larvae. The parasites are carried through the gastrointestinal tract, into the blood stream where they travel throughout the body and become encysted. This can kill you if they reach your brain or heart because they will multiply and eat the areas.
There are tons of different types of parasites that are found in meats that I wish I could list, but there are just too many. There are so many diseases we contract from consuming meat and that will most-likely kill us. It’s a scary thought: your next meal could be the tip of the ice-burg and could potentially turn into your silent killer. Instances like this really make you glad that you chose to be vegetarian.
Thank you so much for reading!
