Animal Protein Diets Increase Death
Animal-based protein diets may increase death rates, concludes a new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine. The study found that people consuming low-carbohydrate, animal-based protein diets had a higher risk of death compared to people eating a low-carb diet with plant or vegetable-based proteins, says CNN. Increased mortality rates included deaths from cardiovascular disease and cancer. Researchers were able to confirm a direct association between animal-based low-carb diets in males and increased cancer mortality, especially from colorectal and lung cancer. CNN reports that the Atkins company defends their diet, saying the study doesn't apply to their eating plans. Study researchers say that the diet used in the research wasn't designed to mimic any particular low-carb diet.

Dear "Duhs",Famous doctors like Dr. Lorraine Day, M.D. and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyne (no one can remember how to spell his name) but he has a wonderful book and DVD called "How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. His qualifications are many years of being a Heart By-Pass Surgeon at the prestigious Cleveland Medical Center in Ohio.I fear that out present medical researchers are just a few decades "behind the curve." Sincerely (without wax)Dr. Benson
It doesn't clarify is they were comparing animal derived protein diets (a la whey protein shakes and the like), or were they comparing subjects who primarily ate meat and all it's associated downsides vs subjects who ate beans...
Everybody has the same risk of death. I don't get it.
The Annals of Internal Med,
Has news that carnivores may dread.
The report is alleging,
That those who are vegging,
Live longer than those who eat red.
For more, google "[redacted]".
