Most of these high meat and dairy consuming countries also suffer from high rates of various types of cancers.

World record has been recorded in some of the Greek Islands and Okinawa where the average person lives well into the 90's or 100's, or used to at least before Westernization, and where meat consumption is very low. And also where some of the lowest rates of cancer have been recorded.
