Hi , before you make the plunge into vegetarian or veganism, consider cutting off the following fake food to see if it helps

1) Flour based food
2) Refined sugar (soda , sweet and etc)
3) Refined grain
4) Refined carbohydrate loaded with trans fat and Acrylamide ( Potatoe chips, Biscuit and etc )

5) Fried food with Vegetable oil (denatured due to unsaturated bond)
6) Fried / over cooked protein/ meat
7) Alcohol and cigaratte

I agree with Dor that our body needs healthy fat from grass fed animal/deed sea unpolluted fish or uncooked plant based oil (olive,coconut) to function optimally.

I have read China study a few times. IMHO, the proposal that all forms of animal protein/fat is to be blamed for all chronic diseases is inconclusive.

I believe trans fat, refined carbohydate, refined sugar, stress, the way that you cook your carbohydrate and meat, deprivation of healthy fat, alcoholism and etc play a much significant role in chronic diseases.
