Jalapenos/habanero peppers reduce cancer?

[Zelhar]

Yea I am.

As long as you're doing it the right way (don't forget the Red Star Yeast, or equivalent) then you'll probably be one of the healthiest people on JTF. 

I actually didn't hear about red start yeast. Is it equivalent to tofu ?

Well I try not to 'proselytize' people into veganism

It works for me but I am aware that it's almost impossible for many people.

You can proselytize for anything that you want--the worst that can happen is that people can say "no". I am very open to hearing your arguments for veganism, even though I could never be one!

It's a type of yeast (like the kind used in making bread) called Red Star Nutritional Yeast. Most vegans use it (it's kosher too) because it helps them to get B vitamins and proteins without consuming animals. Yeast is fungi like mushrooms so it's ok for vegans to eat it. It will help you to get some of the nutrients that most people get mostly from meat.

May I ask why?

I have been actually asked the same question already by Lisa...

I started as vegetarian because I felt guilty of eating flesh. Then I also felt sorry for the milking cows and for the chickens  being exploited for their eggs so I became fully vegan. And I also developed a health consciousness so I try to eat healthy and I think one avoids allot of the unhealthy foods if he becomes vegan. There are still health hazards to avoid though- like margarine and other types of plastic foods and trans fats.

Wow!! a real vegan.   I'm impressed.

Thanks Rubystars, I will check it out.

You're welcome. I know B12 can be a challenge to get enough of on a vegan diet. That helps most vegans get what they need.

Yes I know, I have been taking B12 tablets for years now.

Red star? Sounds commie to me...

[Rubystars]

I don't know if it's commie or not, I didn't really think about it that way. I just know that vegans use a couple of tablespoons of that yeast mixed into their food to make sure they get enough nutrition without having to eat meat or other animal products.
