As the study says, other studies that found benefits in eating vegan diets have failed to account for the so-called socioeconomic factor &#8211; i.e. that educated, well-paid people in developed countries can spend time and money on finding plants that can somewhat mimic the composition and nutritional profile of meat, and thus have an overall beneficial effect on health. However, eating even those carefully chosen plant diets cannot match the full benefits meat eating has on health and lifespan. Now, that does not mean one should gobble up meat for every meal, as there are indeed important factors in meat that need to be mitigated (e.g. the low calcium\/phosphorus ratio). However, even with those caveats in mind a predominantly meat-based diet is probably still more beneficial in the long run compared to a pure vegan diet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/total-meat-intake-is-associated-with-life-expectancy-a-cross-sectional-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJGM\">https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/total-meat-intake-is-associated-with-life-expectancy-a-cross-sectional-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJGM<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adelaide.edu.au\/newsroom\/news\/list\/2022\/02\/22\/meat-eating-extends-human-life-expectancy-worldwide\">https:\/\/www.adelaide.edu.au\/newsroom\/news\/list\/2022\/02\/22\/meat-eating-extends-human-life-expectancy-worldwide<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;Study author, University of Adelaide researcher in biomedicine, Dr Wenpeng You says humans have evolved and thrived over millions of years because of their significant consumption of meat.<br \/>\n\u201c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>We wanted to look more closely at research that has thrown a negative spotlight on meat consumption<\/strong><\/span> in the human diet,\u201d Dr You says. \u201c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Looking only at correlations of meat consumption with people\u2019s health or life expectancy within a particular group, and or, a particular region or country, can lead to complex and misleading conclusions<\/strong><\/span>. \u201cOur team broadly analysed the correlations between meat eating and life expectancy, and child mortality, at global and regional levels, minimising the study bias, and making our conclusion more representative of the general health effects of meat eating.\u201d Published in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/total-meat-intake-is-associated-with-life-expectancy-a-cross-sectional-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJGM\">International Journal of General Medicine\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-ext fa-fw fa-external-link\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>today, the study examined the overall health effects of total meat consumption in 170+ countries around the world.\u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The researchers found that the consumption of energy from carbohydrate crops (grains and tubers) does not lead to greater life expectancy, and that <span style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\">total meat consumption correlates to greater life expectancy, independent of the competing effects of total calories intake, economic affluence, urban advantages, and obesity<\/span><\/strong><\/span>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;But with the strong development of nutrition science and economic affluence, studies in some populations in developed countries have associated meat-free (vegetarian and vegan) diets with improved health. \u201cI think we need to understand that this may not contradict the beneficial effect of meat consumption,\u201d nutritionist on the study, Yanfei Ge says. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>\u201cStudies looking into the diets of wealthy, highly educated communities, are looking at people who have the purchasing power and the knowledge to select plant-based diets that access the full nutrients normally contained in meat.
