Beef Is Brutal

Beef...It's what's rotting your colon. 

It’s been estimated that with a typical Western diet, up to 12 grams of protein can escape digestion, and when it reaches the colon, it can be turned into toxic substances like ammonia. This degradation of undigested protein in the colon is called putrefaction, so a little meat can actually end up putrefying in our colon. The problem is that some of the byproducts of this putrefaction process can be toxic.

The simplest strategy to reduce the potential harm of protein fermentation is to reduce dietary protein intake.

There’s protein in plants too. The difference is that animal proteins tend to have more sulfur-containing amino acids which can be turned into hydrogen sulfide in our colon. Hydrogen sulfide is the rotten egg gas that may play a role in the development of the inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis.

Because of animal protein and processed food intake, the standard American diet may contain five or six times more sulfur than a diet centered around unprocessed plant foods. This may help explain the rarity of inflammatory bowel disease among those eating traditional whole food, plant-based diets.

Animal protein is hazardous to your health. If you want to live a long life with good health and vitality, consider moving towards a whole foods,  plant-based diet.
