I read recently where the FDA came out with warnings about saturated fats based on faulty information and bad studies. They also push us toward trans fats because it was better for the economy. When all the facts came out about trans fats, they told us we have to eliminate them as well.
Lowering our cholesterol can lead to diabetes and premature dementia. It seems that no matter what we do we're going to die from something. It's a matter of what you feel is more of a danger.

Search: "Do Seventh-Day Adventists eat meat?" Answer from a Seventh-Day Adventist: The religion teaches that vegetarianism is healthier and veganism is even better. But no one is forced to do anything, it's a matter of choice. The thinking is, "....you should have a healthy body and lifestyle so you can better serve God!"
