Do vegetarians live longer?

Question

Is eating meat going to shorten your lifespan? Is there any evidence for this?

Answer 1

I do not believe it is MEAT that is the bad thing i think it is the way we cook our food. If u did not fry everything then that would keep your arteries unclogged and save your life and give u a long life span but maybe not. "Leave eaters" can be less healthy if they do not substitute meat for let say soy or one of the other protein rich products out there.

Answer 2

It may be debatable if vegetarien food alone extend your lifetime, probably not unless you life healthy anyway. But since toxics accumulate in the foodchain and mass keeping of animals doesn't work without antibiotica and other medicine I'ld say that it at least let you die a bit healthier.

Answer 3

Ask the Mongols of Central Asia who are believed to live the longest and are primarily meat eaters.

Answer 4

vegetarians eat the food with the most energy, but they can also lack in protein and fat from meat, which is why vegetarians often have gray hair at early ages.

Answer 5

Well I hope they do, cause Im a vegatarian...
but actually I dont think so...
I have heard that veg diet is really good, but thats provided its a balanced diet... lots of meat eating can be bad i think..

Answer 6

Possibly, but it depends on excersize an lifestyle mostly.
Vegetarians lack animal protein, but are at less risk of certain disease that comes from meat.

Answer 7
