This information came from a USF Health lecture. I'm a vegan, age 74, who needs no medication, according to my doctor. All my tests have been within normal range. If you can eat meat and be healthy, good for you! But Seventh-day Adventists, who are vegetarians, live 10 years longer on average than the rest of the U.S. population. And that's not an anecdote! |

They also don't drink or use illegal drugs. I think it is probably safe to say that they live a healthier lifestyle and this results in longevity. Trying to separate out which part of the liefstyle contributes the most could be difficult.

Anyway, only one out of 5 smoke in the general population, so how would that account for the whole 10 year difference, as you claim? |

Also, if meat eaters are being defensive, I think it's because of the confrontational tone set in the OP's first post: "7,000 animals are being slaughtered because of one meat eater". Perhaps a gentler approach might garner more interest and support.

No doubt it is difficult (at least it would be for most of us) but I have read accounts of studies in the Daily Sun where they say they have made adjustments for smoking etc.

Most folks never realized the numbers of animals, so now they are aware of a fact. Garner more interest, really in 24 hours 1300 readers. Support, not looking for support at all. Eat what you wish your health will vary. . |

The offensive word is the all caps YOU in the post. I am also offended by the implication that I eat sheep.

OK, I will buy that. If the research was published in a peer reviewed journal then the statistical methodology was reviewed. The key here is a professional, peer reviewed journal.

The original numbers would indicate 2.5% (16M and half are vegans out of 312M) . This is sort of silly since it was a survey - who cares about 0.5%.
