meat
Adverse effects:
- very low meat intake associated decreased mortality [1]
- 2 decades of adherence to very low meat diet associated with a 3-6 year increase in life expectancy
- protective effect of very low meat diet attenuated after 80 years of age [1]
- high animal protein diet associated with increased mortality
- high plant protein intake associated with decreased mortality, especially when other lifestyle risk factors are favorable [2]
- nitrate-cured meat products associated with mania in humans [3]
Notes:
- FDA has approved human food made from cultured animal cells [5]
- cells obtained from livestock, poultry, seafood, or other animals may be used in the production of human food [5]
