And it can all be 5 to diet alone with no other confounding factors?
That’s not convincing.
At the very least, a vegetarians/vegan diet is B12 deficient, which is an important vitamin. And sure, these days we can take supplements, but if you are on a diet that requires supplements to round it out, that is proof that the diet is NOT adequate.
Eat vegan if you want but it’s not adequate nutrition for humans.
40,000 residents in Loma Linda CA, most of whom are Seventh day Adventists, all who keep the Sabbath and most who are vegetarians if not full vegans......and living 10 years longer and heathier than the general population......that’s not convincing?
What about Daniel chapter 1? What about God giving his people meatless manna for 40 years? What about Genesis where we see the designer of the human body giving us his diet for the human body...fruits, grains, nuts, vegetables.......Adam lived over 900 years. NO meat. They lived hundreds of years..no meat. Noah lived over 600 years.....no meat except for awhile until the vegetation came back after the flood.
I trust God and I trust the Bible when the Bible and science conflict. Science says I evolved from an Ape over billions of years. The Bible says I am fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. I trust God ..
