The problem is that we are exposed to so many chemicals, finding the culprit(s) for this kind of thing will be nigh impossible.
The study said "(diet high in red meat, low in fruits, high in sodium and low in milk, etc)"
which basically means "everywhere in the first world" since red meat is often too expensive in 3rd-world settings. And globalization means that every first world country is using the same products.
- JohnMakin 3y agoEverything is chemicals.

Plastics, aromatic hydrocarbons, endocrine disruptors, etc. You know, novel technologically produced chemicals (or natural chemicals in unnatural quantities) that may have negative impact on your body that we either are unaware of or have underestimated.

We've got more stuff like pasta made with vegetables or beans or the like, and we have vegan restaurant dishes and snack food options. I would say it's actually a lot easier than eating meat, because meat doesn't keep for long unless it's frozen, and is very expensive if you want anything high quality and ethically sourced. Low sodium is still hard though.
