Total Meat Intake is Associated with Life Expectancy


Another study about FOOD!

Not to be too boring, just the tasty parts:

We examined the association between meat intake and life expectancy at a population level based on ecological data published by the United Nations agencies.

Population-specific data were obtained from 175 countries/territories. Scatter plots, bivariate, partial correlation and linear regression models were used with SPSS 25 to explore and compare the correlations between newborn life expectancy (e(0)), life expectancy at 5 years of life (e(5)) and intakes of meat, and carbohydrate crops, respectively. The established risk factors to life expectancy - caloric intake, urbanization, obesity and education levels - were included as the potential confounders.

Worldwide, bivariate correlation analyses revealed that meat intake is positively correlated with life expectancies. This relationship remained significant when influences of caloric intake, urbanization, obesity, education and carbohydrate crops were statistically controlled. Stepwise linear regression selected meat intake, not carbohydrate crops, as one of the significant predictors of life expectancy. In contrast, carbohydrate crops showed weak and negative correlation with life expectancy.

If meat intake is not incorporated into nutrition science for predicting human life expectancy, results could prove inaccurate. 


And another tasty bit!

 

For example, proteins are easy to obtain by incorporating nuts and beans into diet. Vitamin B12 can be absorbed adequately from cheese, eggs, milk, and artificially fortified pills, and iron can be found in legumes, grains, nuts, and a range of vegetables., Relying on meat nutrient replacements and available food products, well-planned vegetarian diets, including vegan diets, are nutritionally adequate and are appropriate for various individuals during all stages of life,...

Health effects of a vegetarian diet may be only a perceived benefit. The correlation identified between vegetarianism and high life expectancy may not necessarily depend on their diets, but rather on the lifestyles that vegetarians maintain. It is important to acknowledge that vegetarians (especially in western countries) tend to be more “health-conscious”, with overall healthier lifestyle patterns than other people. 

 

That's it! Enjoy your meal...

The Next Step for the World Economic Forum

The Next Step for the World Economic Forum BY  ROGER KOOPS      FEBRUARY 20, 2022 I t has been obvious since early 2020 that there has been an organized cult outreach that has permeated the world as a whole. It’s possible that this formed out of a gigantic error, rooted in a sudden ignorance of cell biology and long experience of public health. It is also possible that a seasonal respiratory virus was deployed by some people as an opportunity to seize power for some other purpose.  Follow the money and influence trails and the latter conclusion is hard to dismiss.  The clues were there early. Even before the WHO declared a pandemic in March 2020 (at least several months behind the actual fact of a pandemic) and before any lockdowns, there were media blitzes talking about the “New Normal” and talk of the “Great Reset” (which was rebranded as “Build Back Better”).  Pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, and Astra-Zene...

What the Media Is HIDING About Ukraine/Russia

Thanks to CoCoLuv9491 for recommending this video... What the Media Is HIDING About Ukraine/Russia While the mainstream US media chant with one voice for war and to place full responsibility for the Ukraine crisis on Russia, a cursory investigation of NATO’s meddling in Ukraine’s affairs for more than a decade reveals how economic interests of weapons manufacturers and the fossil fuel industry have led to the military conflict we’re experiencing today. Jimmy and The Grayzone’s Aaron Maté ( https://mate.substack.com ) discuss western and NATO complicity in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Source: The Jimmy Dore Show

The State of Emergency, Coercive Medicine, and Academia

The State of Emergency, Coercive Medicine, and Academia by   Maximilian C. Forte "Two weeks to flatten the curve,” is what we heard across Canada 1  just after March 11, 2020, when the World Health Organization unilaterally declared a global “pandemic” according to new criteria developed in 2009 that emphasized transmissibility over lethality. 2  We are now approaching two years of a crisis that is routinely and deceptively blamed on “Covid”. Politicians, public health officials, and the mass media have made persistent pronouncements that tended towards the inflation of grim numbers and the exaggeration of threats. 3 The State of Emergency and its Consequences Building on expanded threat perception, authorities have deliberately promoted fear, induced panic, and created stress. 4  With the public suffering an epidemic of fear bordering on mass psychosis, 5  states have multiplied and escalated the number and types of restrictions, few of which have the supp...
