INTRO: Has eating meat become unfairly demonised as bad for your health? That’s the question a global, multidisciplinary team of researchers has been studying and the results are in - eating meat still offers important benefits for overall human health and life expectancy.

Study author, University of Adelaide researcher in biomedicine, Dr Wenpeng You, says humans have evolved and thrived over millions of years because of their significant consumption of meat. “We wanted to look more closely at research that has thrown a negative spotlight on meat consumption in the human diet,” Dr You says.

“Looking only at correlations of meat consumption with people’s health or life expectancy within a particular group, and or, a particular region or country, can lead to complex and misleading conclusions. Our team broadly analysed the correlations between meat eating and life expectancy, and child mortality, at global and regional levels, minimising the study bias, and making our conclusion more representative of the general health effects of meat eating.” 

Published in the International Journal of General Medicine today, the study examined the overall health effects of total meat consumption in 170+ countries around the world.  The researchers found that the consumption of energy from carbohydrate crops (grains and tubers) does not lead to greater life expectancy, and that total meat consumption correlates to greater life expectancy, independent of the competing effects of total calories intake, economic affluence, urban advantages, and obesity...
