Context: Animal products are known to be a healthy alternative in diet of people. Milk, meat and products like chicken and eggs are deemed as source of nutrition. However, recent studies have questioned this approach and have pointed towards a paradigm shift. Objectives: To establish that animal products are unhealthy for human beings. Methods: A secondary data collection and systematic literature review approach was adopted for this work, where the findings of different scholars were analysed. Results & Conclusion: The analysis clarified that the commercialization of animal products industry has led to the products being filled with toxins and chemicals, which on consumption, prove futile for humans. Apart from this, products like meat are carcinogenic, showing that there is a shift from the earlier ideology pertaining to animal products being crucial for a healthy diet. Significance: This study strengthens the contention that animal products and its rampant production, is resulting in more harm than benefit.
