Abstract in brief

  • High consumption of red and processed meats is linked to an increased risk of death from various causes, including cancer and heart disease, based on a large study of over 500,000 people aged 50 to 71.
  • The study used food questionnaires and statistical models to analyze how different levels of meat intake affect mortality, accounting for factors like age, lifestyle, and health history.
  • People who ate the most red and processed meats had higher risk of dying from overall causes, especially from cancer and cardiovascular diseases, compared to those who ate the least.]

@chrisboettcher9 Isn't it a bit more nuanced than that? Processed meats likely do increase cancer risk, red meats possibly (this study suggests so, others not so much), white meats perhaps protective: https://t.co/wqWDZ9Z9uN

@NallaniRaghav @VeganIndiaMovt @SunainaMalani @KappalYaavari @MisssT__ @sakie339 @RadG_Dodo @Rssamul Here are a few studies that link animal protein consumption with increase in mortality and disease risk, while it is the opposite for plant protein.
