Does MEAT increases life expectancy?

Question

Contradict to V&V, but would you agree? Why?

Answer 1

No, from what I've researched I found out that vegetarians live longer then meat eaters.

Answer 2

Simply yes... For eating any type of animal though delicious going down is toxic for your body. If you notice some vegetarians you see are not only thin but look young. The toxins meat produces not only increase the chance for various problems that affect people during the older years but it also ages you.

Taken Prince for example... he is 50 years old and has been a vegetarian for decades... and he barely looks like he is past 30... not to mention he never took drugs...

Answer 3

It is a part of a balanced diet

I suggest it

But Veggies are good for you too

Answer 4

According to life expectancy calculators, a low fat diet with lots of fruits and veggies is the most conducive diet for living a long life. Does low fat mean low meat? You decide.

Answer 5

If part of a well balanced diet, sure. Meat has nutrients that a body needs. However, meat in itself is not complete. Over indulgence of meat can lead to serious health problems.

If meat was unhealthy as some would like to imply, then the human race would have ceased to exist eons ago. That fact seems to be lost on some people though.

Longevity is not based on diet alone. Genetics plays a bigger role than anything else. Environment does too. So do a host of other factors. diet is but one of those.

Answer 6

What's the need the world should sustain you by the way you kill millions of lives?

Answer 7

I've been eating a very varied diet, including animal products of all sorts at least twice a day for 75 years, and I'm still going strong. But a lot depends on the genes you inherited, and diet won't change that unless you are malnourished. And since my wife and I both enjoy the pleasures of the table greatly, we are not malnourished. Oh, yes -- she has pretty much the same dietary history I have, and there are several centenarians in her background, none of them shy about eating meat.

Answer 8

Generally speaking, a diet high in meat probably does more bad than good. In moderation it's alright. There is definitely an increased risk of cancer and heart disease though and people on Atkins have to be very careful. Mr. Atkins himself died of his own diet!

The only real positive that comes out of meat is some protein which can be obtained other ways.

Answer 9

I had commanded earlier...

MEAT is DEAD

It seems no one belief my existence...but you shoud at least believe the facts that...

w Obesity

w Coronary Artery Disease

w Hypertension
