Epidemiological studies show no significant difference in all-cause mortality risk between meat-eaters and vegetarians.

“right and I find out a lot of people in the nutrition space and also in the vegan health space they favor epidemiology over a lot of you know different studies”

“vegetarian diet and all-cause mortality evidence from a large population-based australian cohort this is epidemiology but as you can see here there was also no significant difference in mortality risks this is not longevity but it's mortality risk between pesco vegetarians people eating fish and vegetables or semi-vegetarians which is basically veg vegetables probably dairy and eggs versus regular meat eaters we found no evidence that following a vegetarian diet semi-vegetarian diet or a pesco vegetarian diet has an independent protective effect on all-cause mortality”
