Maybe you believe the above but not Mercola.
You are totally and completely mistaken. Dr Oz says that tapeworms come from eating raw meat. Here are excerpts from his (Mercola) articles in quote. He says "I am convinced that we require regular amounts of animal protein." Vegetables cause cancer? "Additionally, Dr. Stephen Byrnes reminds us that according to data published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1994, vol. 59 (supplement), 1136S- 1142S, Adventists [SD Adventists are vegetarians] have higher cancer rates than the general population."
"Though the study (also conducted by Loma Linda) showed that SDAs had lower rates of some cancer, e.g., breast, it also clearly showed that SDAs had higher rates for several others, particularly those of the reproductive tract. The possible explanation for this is their vegetarian diet which exposes them to higher levels of estrogenic pesticide residues on the assorted grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits." [Buy organic]

I can go on and on about him saying terrible things about the vegetarian diet. Please note that one, and only one, of the titles is a joke and not real. It should be obvious.
Note that he does not have a single negative article about eating meat.
