Negative Health Effects of Animal Product Consumption

Long-Term Intake of Red Meat in Relation to Dementia Risk and Cognitive Function in US Adults

 https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000210286

"Higher intake of red meat, particularly processed red meat, was associated with a higher risk of developing dementia and worse cognition. Reducing red meat consumption could be included in dietary guidelines to promote cognitive health."


Total, red and processed meat consumption and human health: an umbrella review of observational studies

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35291893/

"Convincing evidence of the association between increased risk of (i) colorectal adenoma, lung cancer, CHD and stroke, (ii) colorectal adenoma, ovarian, prostate, renal and stomach cancers, CHD and stroke and (iii) colon and bladder cancer was found for excess intake of total, red and processed meat, respectively."


Potential health hazards of eating red meat

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27597529/

"The evidence-based integrated message is that it is plausible to conclude that high consumption of red meat, and especially processed meat, is associated with an increased risk of several major chronic diseases and preterm mortality. Production of red meat involves an environmental burden."


Red meat consumption, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37264855/

"Unprocessed and processed red meat consumption are both associated with higher risk of CVD, CVD subtypes, and diabetes, with a stronger association in western settings but no sex difference. Better understanding of the mechanisms is needed to facilitate improving cardiometabolic and planetary health."


Red Meat Consumption and the Risk of Stroke: A Dose-Response Meta-analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26935118/

"Our findings indicate that high consumption of red meat, especially processed red meat, will increase the risk of stroke."


Relation of iron and red meat intake to blood pressure: cross sectional epidemiological study

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2658466/

"An unfavourable effect of red meat on blood pressure was observed. These results need confirmation including in prospective studies, clinical trials, and from experimental evidence on possible mechanisms."


Meat and fish intake and type 2 diabetes: Dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32302686/

"Our meta-analysis has shown a linear dose-response relationship between total meat, red meat and processed meat intakes and T2D risk. In addition, a non-linear relationship of intake of processed meat with risk of T2D was detected"


Meat Consumption as a Risk Factor for Type 2 Diabetes

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3942738/

"Meat consumption is consistently associated with diabetes risk."


Egg consumption and risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes: a meta-analysis

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23643053/

"Our study suggests that there is a dose-response positive association between egg consumption and the risk of CVD and diabetes"


Dairy Intake and Incidence of Common Cancers in Prospective Studies: A Narrative Review

https://www.ijdrp.org/index.php/ijdrp/article/view/365

"Naturally occurring hormones and compounds in dairy products may play a role in increasing the risk of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers"


Does Poultry Consumption Increase the Risk of Mortality for Gastrointestinal Cancers? A Preliminary Competing Risk Analysis

https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/8/1370

"Our study showed that poultry consumption above 300 g/week is associated with a statistically significant increased mortality risk both from all causes and from GCs. The risk is higher for men than for women."

On Veganism and Its Scope

 In this post, I will attempt to identify the scope of veganism, meaning what is encompassed within the concept vs what is not. If we look at the Vegan Society  definition of veganism, which seems to be the most widely cited: "Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals." We see that a distinction is made between humans and animals. We see this in the line: "promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment," where they refer to humans and animals seperately. We can also see that in the beginning of the veg...

Veganism and Right Wing Ideology

       While most vegans are on the left, their exists conservatives and others on the political right who are vegan. This post will simply highlight some of them and arguments/perspectives that these people have.  Conservatism and Veganism        In regard to conservatives and conservatism, there are groups such as the  The Vegan Conservatives in the UK  who promote both veganism and conservatism. There are also Christians whose veganism is informed by their spiritual and ethical beliefs, such as the  The Seventh Day Adventists , and even some Catholics as well (see  1 , 2 , 3,  and  4 for examples). Christian beliefs, including those of the Seventh Day Adventists, tend to be socially conservative, such as being opposed to abortion, looking favorably upon traditional gender roles, etc.        A staunchly pro-life conservative could come to the conclusion that, in order to be ethically consis...

On Bivalves

       There is occasional debate within the vegan community about whether it is morally permissible to consume bivalves, whether doing so is consistent with the idea of veganism, and whether you should call yourself "vegan" if you do. The stance that eating bivalves is consistent with the ethical stance of veganism is sometimes called "ostroveganism" or "bivalveganism," however some people who do this just refer to themselves as "vegan," not seeing the need for a separate label when they see bivalves as consistent with veganism. This idea is relatively controversial, and it appears that most vegans are opposed to this. That said, I wanted to write a bit about the issue, and my argument for the consumption of bivalves will largely be negative utilitarian in nature.  On the Sentience, or Lack Thereof, of Bivalves        Firstly, I would encourage any reader to check out  "On the Consumption of Bivalves"  by David Cascio published on ...
