The problem with that is that sometimes the first sign of a health problem is death. Look at Kevin Smith (who's now considering going vegan in the wake of his massive heart attack). It's pretty difficult to course-correct if the first symptom is death.
Other times the first symptom is cancer. Cholo-rectal cancers are amongst the cancers tightly correlated to eating animal products, but there are many more.
Dietary changes do a better job of preventing disease than they do curing disease.
