        A higher intake of total meat was associated with a lower risk of stroke mortality in women

        A heavy intake of red meat was also associated with all-cause mortality (Q4: HR, 1.13; 95%CIs, 1.02–1.26) and heart disease mortality (Q4: HR, 1.51; 95%CIs, 1.11–2.06) in men but not in women.

        Heavy intake of chicken was inversely associated with cancer mortality in men.

        Huh, fascinating that meat seems to be more harmful to men?

          Doesn’t inversely proportional mean that more heavy intake of chicken correlates with lower cancer mortality in men?

          Does that mean it has something to do with excess iron in their systems? As women naturally get rid of a good bit every month but men have no such mechanism.

            Testosterone can increase iron absorption. I don’t think menstruation plays enough of a role reducing that given how little blood is lost for the average person. I’ve read about people who have been recommended that they donate blood to lower theirs. So to put some numbers up, most menstruation is between 25-30ml while a blood donation is about 500ml. You can donate blood a little under every two months

    I have recently heard that a dietary restriction of any kind tends to improve health outcomes (i.e. lower diabetes incidence) as they all tend to have one thing in common: thinking about what you eat.

    That isn’t to say that cutting meat could have a more significant effect. I’m just saying that people who give little to no thought about what they eat will likely be overrepresented in those with diabetes (maybe the article addresses this; I couldn’t read it).

      It’s a gift link. You should be able to access the article unless:

      • You disabled javascript
      • You ran a browser extension which strips off the gift link token from the URL
      • Your device desperately needs a reboot

      The study makes it clear that they did things like compare with people who engage in meat-type-specific restrictions to rule out what you describe.

    I honestly expected the reverse. I’m vegetarian and I’d always thought I ate proportionally more carbs than the average person because of it.

    Diabetes CAN BE REVERSED. It’s ridiculous that there aren’t tickertape parades in the street celebrating this fact. We have an intervention that is essentially a CURE for diabetes. And people don’t give a single fuck because it isn’t a pill or an injection. It’s a whole food plant-based diet.

    I have pointy teeth and slicey teeth specifically meant for eating meat. Eating any amount of meat apparently will give me type 2 diabetes immediately.

    So the point of this article is that god DOES exist, and he’s a sadistic prick?

    Is that really news at this point though?

      Don’t pandas have very carnivore-like teeth and exist primarily on bamboo? I don’t think teeth are a good argument here

      Your asshole leads to your digestive system, also, so I guess we could argue you’re meant to eat broomhandles by jumping onto them while someone else holds them vertically.

      This is not even recent news. This is stuff you should already know. This is just the newest study on the subject.

        To be honest linking something like meat to death of people is like saying everybody that breathed air died.

        correlation != causation

        Like said before the bot is not a bringer of truth or “god”, its just an optional third view on the news pages bias, it CANT be 100% truthfully or unbiased itself.

        We are discussing already other options / additions to the bot.
