The flip side is that an industrial agricultural diet with lots of processed foods and meats puts heavy burdens on the body's toxin processing system, which includes the digestive track, the lymph system, the liver, the skin and the kidneys.  

Our bodies have incredible abilities in this regard, but a modern industrial diet overloads the system, leading to slow but steady damage to the body's critical organs (heart and brain, say).  This systematic collapse is something that medicine can't always reverse - often, doctors aren't involved until the problems have progressed for years and years.  Exposure to pollution is similar - people will have trace solvents in their water for decades, and then everyone in the neighborhood starts coming down with cancer in their 40s - it's a creeping threat.

This slow degradation causes general depression, loss of libido, etc.  The body just doesn't have the energy - it's all been used up trying to flush out the system.
