I do not necessarily disagree with your claims, but few people will take you seriously if your sources are a sensationalist newspaper and youtube. Even the nutritionist's blog in not particularly reliable, given how poor replication is in this discipline.
Also, OP made a specific claim about controlling for health-conscious behavior that is not countered here.
- matt4077 10y agoThe Guardian article links to the paper, which has this in the introduction: Relative risks (RRs) were estimated by Cox regression, stratified by sex and recruitment protocol and adjusted for age, smoking, alcohol, body mass index, physical activity level and, for women only, parity and oral contraceptive use. I wouldn't disagree that there's still a lot of uncertainty, but at least for cancer, I'd bet on a small but significant effect. Anyway: what is pretty much proven is that living like a vegetarian is quite beneficial. You can probably even continue eating meat. (One possibly life-prolonging behaviour observed more in vegetarians: not considering the Guardian to be a 'sensationalist' newspaper)
- milesrout 10y agoThe Guardian and the Independent aren't 'sensationalist', they're basically the two most highly regarded British newspapers.
