“Cholesterol-free eating” is a term for eating without animal products.
Cholesterol is found only in meat and animal products (meat, eggs, fish, poultry,
and dairy products).
In March 1988, the American Dietetic Association stated, “A considerable body
of scientific data suggests positive relationships between vegetarian lifestyles
and risk reduction for several chronic degenerative diseases and conditions,
such as obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, colon
cancer, and others.”
There are many benefits of cholesterol-free eating. Among these benefits,
Weimar Institute cites:
 Improved strength and endurance,
 Improved health, decreased risk of disease,
 Lowered risk of coronary occlusions and thrombotic disease,
 Increased length of life,
 More economical,
 Killing of animals is not required,
 Wiser use of land: A cow consumes 100 calories to return 4 calories to
man. One acre of land produces 165 pounds of beef. One acre of land
produces 450 pounds of soy protein. Each year, four million acres of U.S.
cropland is lost to soil erosion—85% of which is directly associated with
livestock raising. And, cholesterol-free eating is…
 Less extravagant: The number of people who could be fed by the grain
and soybeans that are eaten by U.S. livestock is one trillion 300 million
(1,300,000,000) people! The number of people who could be fed by the
grain saved, if Americans reduced their intake of meat by only 10%, is 60
million!
The pen of Inspiration notes in the book The Ministry of Healing, “Grains, fruits,
nuts, and vegetables constitute the diet chosen for us by our Creator. These
foods, prepared in as simple and natural a manner as possible, are the most
healthful and nourishing. They impart a strength, a power of endurance, and a
vigor of intellect that are not afforded by more complex and stimulating diet.”
