Isn't this the same thing as "Meat does not make you muscular?" There has to be a combination of diet and exercise.

Isn't this the same thing as "Meat does not make you muscular?"
There has to be a combination of diet and exercise.
- jasallen 13y agoThere is, however, a significant correlation between meat eating (or more specifically protein consumption) and muscularity. If you corrected for exercise in the right way you would still see this correlation (a naive approach would remove all effects of exercise and you would lose the correlation). So if this study is taken at face value (and well, no, don't do that) there is no correlation even before correcting for other factors.
- ekm2 13y agoIf you do not work out, the meat merely makes you fat.
- jasallen 13y agoI don't think correlation means what you think it means.
- hackinthebochs 13y agoThat's not exactly true. I saw a study recently that showed high protein diets increase lean body mass independent of exercise.
