What's the key to living longer? Ditch dead animals as food! Vegetarians live four years longer [and better with less illness], experts now reveal.- Study of 1.5 million shows ALL causes of death higher for flesh eaters.
- Eating red and processed meat daily is bad for health.
- Recommendation: meat eaters, limit animal products.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, shows that being vegetarian -- eradicating meat from your diet -- could extend a person's life expectancy by 3.6 years.
Why? Eating red and, in particular, processed meats on a daily basis is linked to rising mortality (death) rates. [Morbidity refers to the illnesses meat eating gives you.]
Investigations of more than 1.5 million people found death from all causes was higher for those who regularly eat meat, a new study finds, whereas vegetarians live longer.
Physicians from the Mayo Clinic in Arizona analyzed six studies that showed the effects of meat and vegetarian diets on mortality [death rates].
Primary care physicians were then given evidence-based guidance about whether they should discourage patients from eating meat.

Their recommendation was that physicians should advise patients to limit animal products when possible and consume much more plants than meat.

"This data reinforces what we have known for so long: your diet has great potential to harm or heal.
"This clinical-based evidence can assist physicians in counseling patients about the important role diet plays, leading to improved preventive care, a key consideration in the osteopathic philosophy of medicine."
Also, while findings for US and European populations differed to an extent, the data found steep rises in mortality [death] -- even during the smallest increases in red meat consumption.
Eating red and particularly processed meats on a daily basis was linked to rising death rates, but going vegetarian for at least 17 years, extends a person's life expectancy by 3.6 years.
As part of the same 2014 study, more than one million people were followed over a number of different yearly time spans -- ranging from five and a half years to 28 years.

Processing increases meat's harm
[But all meat in US is embalmed and dyed red to make it less unappealing and keep it from putrefying under Saran wrap.]
It was discovered that processed meat significantly increased the risk of all cause mortality -- with possible links to cardiovascular disease and ischemic heart disease.
A further review of more than 500,000 participants also found that those with a very low meat intake had a decreased risk of 25 per cent to nearly 50 per cent of all-cause mortality compared with those with a high meat intake.
