Diets high in protein, particularly plant protein, linked to lower risk of death

[Northerner]

Diets high in protein, particularly plant protein, are associated with a lower risk of death from any cause, finds an analysis of the latest evidence published by The BMJ today.

The researchers say these findings "support current dietary recommendations to increase consumption of plant proteins in the general population."

Diets high in protein, particularly protein from plants such as legumes (peas, beans and lentils), whole grains and nuts, have been linked to lower risks of developing diabetes, heart disease and stroke, while regular consumption of red meat and high intake of animal proteins have been linked to several health problems.

But data on the association between different types of proteins and death are conflicting.

Point 1: There is no such thing as a reduced risk of death from any cause, our risk of death is 100%

Point 2: You can leave out red meat and just eat legumes, nuts and such and you'll still die of something.(Probably farting yourself to death)

Point 3: I like eating meat and fish. Meat contains protein and micronutrients that are similar to what our bodies are made of, so no need for our biochemistry to work too hard to use it. And essential vitamins like B12.

Point 4: The longer you live, there is an increased likelihood of getting cancer or dementia.

Point 5: The biggest cause of early death is poverty. Always has been, always will be.

It’s clear they mean ‘early or premature’ death. It’s something I’m going to have to embrace because in lowering my carbs I’m increasing my protein intake which is impacting on my lipid levels. Makes sense to me. Just got to learn to love legumes now!😳

I happened to have legumes for my tea - however being as they were the red beans in the chilli con carne I cooked. very obviously it contained meat (in the form of beef mince) otherwise it couldn't possibly be con carne, could it!!
