I would be interested in the actual references so I could read the study. I'm a vegetarian - not vegan; mostly because I never really liked the taste of meat. I was raised on a farm and visited the slaughterhouse a few times with my dad - that, over time, cured me from wanting to eat meat. However, I do have a lot of relatives who were meat eaters and they lived very long and active lives. So, again, I'd like to read the studies you cite. If one does choose to leave all meat out of their diet, they need to be careful to get the protein and other nutirents, generally provided by meat, from another source.
