Something else to consider with a high-protein diet is the effect on immunity. Countries where protein is a luxury generally suffer more in the way of infectious diseases, particularly HIV, and I'm convinced that protein deprivation is a primary factor. We suffer less from this kind of thing in the West because we can afford to take basic materials like grains and process them through animals to obtain protein-rich foods. There's more to longevity than simply preventing heart disease.

So is mother's milk, something that's also making a comeback. Formula companies are working overtime sending out samples to expectant mothers.

Boy, I am sure convinced of this. When we were vegetarians we were always sick; colds, flu and just general yuck. We quit 4 years ago, and have had very very few colds or any illnesses since. I am convinced that we think better,too. Now when I'm around my family members who are still vegetarians,I notice that they are airheads in addition to being sick a lot!! Also I think too many starches makes people passive.
