Plant based diet

There are plenty of resources that look at long term sometimes multi decades diets heavy in red meats.  Yet you ignore them all in favor of very short term studies showing the short term benefits for mainly groups of people with health problems and obesity.

 

As far as impact on our planet its one of the most selfish ways to live and shows a complete lack of insight to long long term research and what we know are the best ways to eat overall.    Cancer is a significant risk for long term heavy meat diets - and something that is not going to make you feel unhealthy until you have it.

The researchers looked at more than 6,000 people ages 50 and older, and followed them for 18 years. They found that people ages 50 to 65 who ate a diet rich in animal proteins during middle age were more than four times as likely to die of cancer during the study period than those who ate a low-protein diet, according to the study published today (March 4) in the journal Cell Metabolism.

"Popular diets in many cases have high proteins and low sugars. They may make you lose some weight, but that's not a good diet to increase life span," said study researcher Valter Longo, professor of biology at the University of Southern California (USC) and director of the USC Longevity Institute.
