You will see a big picture of vegetables taken in a supermarket and above the picture it says: "People who eat a vegetarian diet live longer than those who eat meat....."
The report was dated Jun. 4, 2013.
A small fraction of those in the study (4,031) ate meat infrequently.
You state that there may be other differences. Yes, in general they live a prudent lifestyle. Of course, everyone knows that smoking is bad for your health. Excess alcohol consumption is bad too. What does that prove?
Are you trying to minimize the health benefits of eating vegetarian?

Thank you for the info, I'll take a look in a bit. Am I trying to minimize the health benefits? No, not at all, I'm trying to validate exactly why some who eat a plant based diet do well...and why some who eat a diet with animal protein, also do well. Often times there are interactions not readily apparent that bring about results. One day, soon, we will know exactly why different diets can bring good health. You're not disputing that there are individuals that are healthy, fit and happy on diets that have animal protein and fats in them, are you....
