Meat does not eat with a higher death risk, suggests new research

A recent study conducted by McMaster University in Canada suggests that increasing your intake of meat could actually be beneficial for your health. Contrary to popular belief, the research found that animal proteins are not linked to a higher risk of death.

The study, which analyzed data from nearly 16,000 adults aged 19 and older, looked at the impact of animal and vegetable proteins on mortality rates. Surprisingly, the results showed that consuming animal proteins could offer protective benefits against cancer-related mortality.

While the study did not find any associations between total protein intake and the risk of death from any cause, it did reveal a “modest but significant reduction” in cancer mortality associated with animal proteins. This suggests that incorporating animal proteins into your diet could have a positive impact on your overall health.

Research supervisor Stuart Phillips emphasized the importance of these findings, stating that there is often confusion surrounding protein consumption and its implications for long-term health. He stressed the need for evidence-based decisions when it comes to diet choices.

Overall, the study concluded that both animal and vegetable proteins can promote health and longevity. By utilizing rigorous research methods, the researchers were able to provide a more accurate picture of the impact of protein intake on mortality risk.

It is important to note that this research was funded by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), although the researchers maintain that the association was not involved in the data collection, analysis, or publication of the findings.
