Proof The Bible Is True

One of the most common claims made by advocates of vegetarian and vegan diets is that people who abstain from eating meat (vegetarians) or all animal products (vegans) live longer than meat eaters. This has been repeated so often that it’s accepted as gospel-both within plant-based diet communities and amongst the general public. But is it really true? Read on to find out.

 

In this post, I’m going to do a deep dive into the research into whether vegetarians and vegans live longer than omnivores – people who consume a mixed diet including meat. It’s a long article, because I wanted to cover all of the available studies on the topic and be as thorough as possible.

 

For the time-challenged among you, I’ll spill the beans right up front: while early studies did suggest a survival advantage for vegetarians and vegans, more recent and much higher-quality evidence has found no difference in lifespan between omnivores and vegetarians and vegans.

 

That’s the TL;DR. Let’s take a closer look at how researchers arrived at this conclusion.
