For years, they have boasted of the health benefits of their leafy diets, but now vegetarians have the proof that has so far eluded them: when it comes to cancer risks, they have the edge on carnivores.

Fresh evidence from the largest study to date to investigate dietary habits and cancer has concluded that vegetarians are 45% less likely to develop cancer of the blood than meat eaters and are 12% less likely to develop cancer overall.

Most likely you will be

Most likely you will be having a long and healthy life if you eat a lot of leafy vegetables and fruits. That's the best way of having a long life away from any kind of chronic disease such as cancer. Organic foods are also sold in bulk, so the processed foods you're used to in bulk foods aren't the only option, and contrary to belief, you don't need a loan to buy healthier options. Stores such as Whole Foods stock their shelves with things like beans, pasta, rice, and also bulk produce that is sans chemical additives, and in bulk and on the cheap. You'll have to cook more, but shopping at natural food stores is like a payday cash loan to your own health.
