A lot of other studies with better research say the opposite.
My take:
The amino acid profile in animal vs. plant proteins is the reason, with excess Methionine being the culprit. It's needed in greater quantities during your growth phase of life, not as much as you get older
Methionine increase homocysteine levels, leading to greater heart disease, and it's been implicated in cancer too (esp tumor growth)
Something called "recombinant Methioninase" is making the rounds in cancer research actually -- it lowers Methionine levels.
