Veganism is not only about loving animals, but loving yourself, too.

Reason behind this is that the animals you eat aren't fed what they are designed to eat. They are fed something that is cheap and make them grow faster. They sometimes fed boiled and ground up remains of dead and diseased animals.

Some animals like cattle are injected with oxytocin everyday to expel a few extra liters of milk, which is found responsible for early onset of puberty in children.

The fish you eat might be adulterated with Formalin, an anti decomposition agent, used as germicide, fungicide and disinfectant for fish.

With 15-20 calories per spoon, a small amount of regular sugar can be a part of anyone's healthy diet. Replacing it with AS might be causing more harm to your body than good.

In some studies, daily consumption of AS was associated with 36% greater risk for metabolic syndrome (obesity, high BP, high blood sugar) and 67% increased risk for type-2 diabetes. These AS may be addictive too.

About Sodas, understand that low-fat is not no-fat. Diet soda may contain Aspartame, which might cause cancer. Many diet drinks contains caffeine, which curb the appetite temporarily but leads to overeating later.
