Wohoooo! Never had to worry about this. 😊
N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a carcinogenic nitrosamine. It has not only been found in certain prescription drugs, but also in foods such as processed meat and beverages like beer. We know NDMA can transfer through the placenta, and this may explain the relationship between consumption of cured meat during pregnancy and the risk of childhood brain tumors. Indeed, hot dog consumption during pregnancy may increase childhood brain tumor risk by 33 percent, and sausage consumption may increase it by 44 percent. Bacon consumption may increase childhood brain tumor odds by 60 to 70 percent. But, it’s not just processed meat. Researchers have also found NDMA in poultry products. Half of a chicken breast contains 110 nanograms of NDMA, which is more than the FDA’s acceptable daily intake limit of 96 nanograms per day. Raw poultry doesn’t have any NDMA; it’s created during the cooking process.
Additionally, dry-heat cooking of meat, like broiling or grilling, creates airborne NDMA, releasing this “very potent carcinogenic compound” into the air. Even if you’re only eating a salad in a charcoal grill restaurant, just being indoors where meat is cooked could pose a cancer risk.
Interestingly enough, one of the best-selling drugs in history, Zantac, was pulled from the market—a drug that brought in billions of dollars—because it contained a probable carcinogen that exceeded the acceptable daily limit, but there may be even more of the contaminant in a single serving of chicken. Why aren’t they pulling the poultry off the shelves, too?

🐷 Better Piggies Rescue
I don't know which is sadder... a full truck of animals, or an empty one. 😭
I know that this is their last day on earth, they never knew love, they never experienced joy or happiness. They only experienced hate, pain, and suffering. I have to close my eyes when I see these things but I know I can't unsee them. I feel so helpless watching them knowing what they have coming. No gentle soul deserves this life. It is just so heartbreaking. 💔
Animals talk, we just have to listen. 💛

"You're vegan? How come you're fat?"
Did anyone hear of this body-shaming?
Most people love to assume that ALL vegans are skinny. And quite frankly, I don't blame them. These people are mostly the meat-eaters and animal abusers that are so distracted by their appearance that they cannot hear the vital issues of animal exploitation, social justice, and the environment.
I didn’t transition to veganism to lose weight or be skinny, I’ve chosen this lifestyle to protect the welfare of all animals. But I’ve come to understand the health benefits of the vegan diet over time, and that's a BIG PLUS!
First of all, I'm HUMAN. I used to be bothered about how my body looked, when my clothes don't fit me anymore, when people who I haven't seen for a long time told me that I've gained weight, blah blah blah! But in all honesty, I’ve found peace with who I am and I couldn't care less about what others say. 💛

TOP CARDIOLOGIST EXPLAINS WHY
Heart disease remains the single biggest deadly disease in the United States - for both men and women, equally. And the vast majority of heart disease evolve from lifestyle choices, especially dietary.
Switching to a healthy, vegan or plant-based diet diminishes our chances of heart problems. In fact, chances drop to near zero when we choose a healthy vegan diet and lifestyle. However, many are unaware that we have the ability to prevent heart problems by simply adopting a healthy vegan diet for heart health. It reduces the incidence of many other dangerous illnesses, too!
“The most ethical diet just so happens to be the most environmentally sound diet and just so happens to be the healthiest."
If we want to be healthy, to heal our planet, and to protect our children from future pandemics, then the answer is simple. 💚
