Meat, dairy may be as detrimental to your health as smoking cigarettes


Eating a diet heavy on meat and cheese may be as harmful to you as smoking a cigarette, researchers claim.

A new study, published in Cell Metabolism on March 4, shows that middle-aged people who eat a diet high in animal proteins from milk, meat and cheese are more likely to die of cancer than someone who eats a low-protein diet. The research also showed the people who ate lots of meat and dairy were more likely to die at an earlier age.
 
Lots of meat, dairy as bad as smoking: Study

"There's a misconception that because we all eat, understanding nutrition is simple. But the question is not whether a certain diet allows you to do well for three days, but can it help you survive to be 100?" study co-author Valter Longo, Edna M. Jones professor of biogerontology at the USC Davis School of Gerontology and director of the USC Longevity Institute in Los Angeles, said in a press release.

Longo had previously done research on a protein that controls a growth hormone called IGF-I, which aids in body growth. Very high levels of IGF-I have been associated with an increased cancer risk.

People produce less of the growth hormone after the age of 65, at which time they become frailer and lose muscle. While eating a diet high in animal proteins has been frowned upon during middle age, some studies have encouraged older adults to chow down on meats and cheeses because it makes them less likely to develop disease.

Meh, I'm getting hungry for steak and eggs and want a cigarette.  :-)

Might devolve into a fun DUmp thread though.  :popcorn:

Wish they would make up their damn minds. Read an article recently that said old people needed to eat more protein as they get older.

Maybe that was the Obamacare diet for old people....eat mo' protein and hurry up and die.

Who wants to live to be 100! Meat will kill you. Dairy products will kill you. Wood burning stoves will kill you.

Hell, birth is a death sentence!

Okay. Eating meat is a negative. Smoking is a negative.

In English a double negative makes a positive so that means eating smoked ham is good for you.

The down side is that those who eat a low-protein diet have a much higher rate of heart attack.

I am in favor of DUmmies following the low protein, high in vegetable diet.  It doesn't nourish the body and will make for even wimpier DUmmies.

Meat diet, die of cancer.
Vegetable diet, die of a heart attack.

Through experimentation i have found that a day old chicken mcnugget

I suggest a clean #14 screen and as usual, check all applicable state and county laws.
