    Much worse than the sugar and caffeine is eating animals, because meat causes cancers. A vegetarian or vegan diet will provide all the health and energy needed, while keeping you out of the hospital and doctor’s offices. In Rio de Janeiro is the Vegetarian Social Clube Restaurant and they are leading the way in providing a healthful alternative to the poisons so readily consumed by Brazilians and others throughout the world.
