A large Australian cohort study found no evidence that vegetarian, vegan, or pesco-vegetarian diets independently protect against all-cause mortality.

“we found no evidence that following a vegetarian diet semi-vegetarian diet and i think they are referring to a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet and a vegetarian diet in this paper refers to a vegan diet or a pesco vegetarian diet has an independent productive effect on all-cause mortality and this was a large study this was 243 900 excuse me 243 000 96 participants mean age 62.3 years they were 46.7 percent men and they were followed um they were all over 45 years old and they were followed for a number of years uh in the study and they found no protective effect of a vegetarian semi-vegetarian again which is probably lacto-ovo or a pesco vegetarian diet”
