meat starts you on a foundation of cholesterol and heterocyclic amines , one causes heart disease/stroke and the other cancer, there you have the three biggest causes of death in the developed world, a vegan diet has a cholesterol intake of zero as cholesterol is only produced in animal cells.
Heterocyclic amines initiate cancer and promote its growth and are created by combining protein in cooking with creatine , creatine is produced in muscle so once again is present in animal products.
as for iron, yes lots of teen girls who go veg worry their doctors, but usually when they go veg they maintain the same standard western diet with cheese and eggs in place of the meat they omit - a well planned veg diet of any kind can have yield great iron levels.
look at vegan communities like dimona in israel and you will see virtually zero incidence of heart disease or cancer.
