Well that was true years ago but today there in enough scientific proof that demonstrates what foods are doing causing damage to our bodies.
Dairy, contains
casein now know to be a leading cause of cancer.
T. Colin Campbell's The China Study (2005), a book about one of the largest nutritional studies ever conducted, describes a direct correlation between casein administered to rats and the promotion of cancer cell growth when exposed to carcinogens. Aflatoxin (a potent carcinogen) was administered to these rats over a 2 week dosing period. The rats were given a 1 week post-dosing period before beginning the test (promotion period). During the promotion period, one group of rats was put on a 5% casein protein diet and another group on a 20% casein protein diet. None of the rats on 5% casein protein developed foci, precursors to cancerous cell growth, and every rat on 20% casein protein developed the pre-cancer foci. It should be noted that all test groups were fed a 20% casein diet for a total of 5 weeks (2-wk acclimation, 2-wk dosing, 1-wk post-dosing) prior to the 12 week promotion period in order to survive the initial aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) dosing, regardless of whether they were in the 5% or 20% test groups.
Other studies conducted by Dr. Campbell on humans confirmed this correlation between the amount of casein protein consumed and the promotion of cancerous cell growth. Dr. Campbell claims to have found a correlation between cancer growth and the amount of casein protein in diet.A 2001 study suggests another milk protein, whey protein, but not casein, may play a protective role against colon tumors in rats. According to a study from the Australian Dairy Council, casein has antimutagenic effects.
Do you think oil such as olive is healthy?

It damages the endothyium lining of your blood vessels, in so doing plaque attaches to those damage areas causes Arteriosclerosis; Plaque buildup and high blood pressue, this is NOT debatable it has been proven. Ask Bill Clinton.
A plant based diet rids the body of this excess plaque lower blood pressure to the point of no BP meds. Aiding in the prevention of heart attacks and strokes.
These are facts documented the movie "Forks over Knives" get a copy.
No we will not live for ever that up to you know who, here are many others issues resolved by a vegan diet, it all about the quality of your retirement years-active healthy or sedentary on meds.
Example my cholesterol is 124, tri's 140, BP 110/70, and yes i have drinks and enjoy foods that if you tried you would not know they are vegan.
