Eating more meat could be beneficial for the body, suggests a new study.

Recent research from the University of Canada McMaster has revealed that foods from animals is not linked to a higher risk of death.

The study discovered that animal proteins could also provide protective advantages of cancer -related mortality, according to a university press release.

The researchers analyzed data of nearly 16,000 adults, aged 19 and over, given the amount of animal and plant protein that they generally consume.

They also examined whether these diets were associated with a risk of dying of causes such as heart disease and cancer.

The results have not revealed any increased risk of death in association with the consumption of more animal protein.

Data has also shown a “modest but significant reduction” of cancer -related mortality.

No association was found between total proteins, animal proteins or vegetable proteins and the risk of death of any cause, according to the study.

But when vegetable and animal proteins have been analyzed, the results “have remained consistent”, which suggests that the vegetable protein has a “minimum impact on cancer mortality, while animal proteins can offer a small protective effect”.

The results were published in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism.

“Combined with decades of evidence of clinical trials, the results support the inclusion of animal proteins as part of a healthy food scheme,” the press release said.

The research supervisor Stuart Phillips, professor and president of the Kinesiology Department of McMaster University, commented in the same press release that there is “a lot of confusion around proteins”, including the quantity and the type to eat, and what it involves for long -term health.

“This study adds clarity, which is important for anyone who tries to make decisions based on evidence on what they eat,” wrote Phillips.

“It is clear that animal and plant protein foods promote health and longevity,” said a principal researcher. (istock)

“It was imperative that our analysis uses the most rigorous and rigorous methods to assess the risk of usual contribution and mortality,” he continued.

“”These methods have allowed us to take into account fluctuations in daily protein intake and provide a more precise image of long -term eating habits. “”

The main researcher Yanni Papanikolaou, president of nutritional strategies, also said that when observation data and clinical research are taken into account, “it is clear that protein animal and plant food promotes health and longevity”.

This research was funded by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), although the researchers noted that the NCBA was “not involved in the design of the study, the collection and the analysis of the data or the publication of the results”.
