heart disease
Mishy asked:


One of the main reasons I became vegan was because of the book “The China Study,” and because of my family’s terrible history of heart disease. Our livers just make too much cholesterol on their own, etc. etc. I have scrawny 10 year old cousins with astronomical cholesterol etc…..

So I just was curious if anyone out there knew pretty strict vegans who were unlucky enough to “still” get cancer and/or heart disease that would cause heart attacks, angina, etc.

Thanks!!! Been vegan 95% of the time since Nov 06 and I love it! I’m Punjabi, which helps, because the ability to eat really spicy Punjabi, Indian, Pakistani, and Thai food makes you never ever ever miss all that meat, dairy, etc.! I love it and feel great!

      I woudln’t say I have heart disease, but I do have high cholesterol due to family history. I’d hate to imagine what it would be if I weren’t vegan!
