The human body does not produce sufficient amounts of taurine, carnosine, alanine, creatine, and 4-hydroxyproline, making dietary intake beneficial.

✓Well SupportedRed meat is a health food containing nutrients like taurine, which are difficult to find elsewhere and linked to improved human health.

✕Not SupportedVegan diets aiming for optimal health and longevity may require over a hundred supplements to replicate the nutrient profile found in red meat.

◐Partially SupportedA diet centered around unprocessed red meat is unlikely to be detrimental to human health and longevity.

✕Not SupportedThe presence of essential nutrients like taurine, creatine, carnosine, anserine, and 4-hydroxyproline in red meat challenges the notion that it is bad for health and shortens lifespan.

✕Not SupportedGaining muscle on a vegan diet may require significant amounts of synthetic processed vegan protein powders, raising questions about their long-term health implications.

◐Partially SupportedIncreased consumption of seed oils, vegetables, and grains, with decreased beef, is associated with declining health.

◐Partially SupportedTaurine is essential for conjugating bile acids into bile salts, facilitating intestinal lipid absorption.

◐Partially SupportedMany supplements taken by individuals on vegan longevity diets are abundant in animal foods.

✕Not SupportedThe decline in red meat consumption in the United States from 1976 to 2017 is considered detrimental to health.

✕Not SupportedAchieving muscle growth on a vegan diet often requires high intake of synthetic vegan protein powders.

✕Not SupportedVegan diets may be deficient in carnosine, anserine, creatine, and 4-hydroxyproline.
