Title: Smoking as harmful to health as eating meat!

Animal protein-rich diets could be as harmful to health as smoking. People under 65 who eat a lot of meat, eggs and dairy are four times as likely to die from cancer or diabetes, study suggests.

A diet rich in meat, eggs, milk and cheese could be as harmful to health as smoking, according to a controversial study into the impact of protein consumption on longevity.

High levels of dietary animal protein in people under 65 years of age was linked to a fourfold increase in their risk of death from cancer or diabetes, and almost double the risk of dying from any cause over an 18-year period, researchers found. However, nutrition experts have cautioned that it's too early to draw firm conclusions from the research.

The overall harmful effects seen in the study were almost completely wiped out when the protein came from plant sources, such as beans and legumes, though cancer risk was still three times as high in middle-aged people who ate a protein-rich diet, compared with those on a low-protein diet.

eating meat on the other hand is not only harmful to you but involves direct killing so it's extremely harmful to non human people

It is one study, with a low level of confidence as well (statistical jargon). Further, I'm not even sure about whether or not they made a distinction between correlation and causality.

But this has been confirmed by Johnny Falcon, therefore it must be correct.

Both Johnny Falcon and Rami are champions for enlightening us on the harms of heme-iron, I've almost given up and feel much better for it.

Even before this study was published, Falcon was telling us about the dangers of heme iron. Falcon has indepth knowledge to many different topics.
