In case anyone ever questions colon cancer being caused by meat and what the stopping of meat eating can do, I offer the following, and I do have medical records. In 1993, I was diagnosed with a cancerous colon polyp � a big one. The doctors (all three opinions) insisted that I must have a colon operation. I had a loop colostomy (God saved me on that one) and immediately afterward went vegetarian.
Before the operation I had many polyps at every yearly exam until the big one finally came along. After the operation and vegetarian diet began, I never had another polyp. At one of my later exams (about 1997) I was told by a doctor in San Antonio, Texas that the #1 cause of colon cancer was meat. After then, I realized the medical community knew/knows it - but why don't they tell people? By pure coincidence I became a vegetarian and that likely saved my life, yet many (doctors) knew all along that the real problem (with my colon) was caused by my diet. Now, over 10-years later, I am really getting into this diet thing as I see the horror of what people eat all around me
