And yes, it's epidemiology but meat eating is consistently NOT associated with healthy behaviors across cultures. Thus, the probability of confounding (healthy user bias) is pretty low here.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
