Interesting. Those who ate less meat had better lipid profiles, too, I would guess. I wonder how meat consumption in the US compares to that in Europe.

No mention was made if that weight was muscle or fat. That's an exceptionally important detail to go missing.

Lincoln--look around--what do you think?

Another reason for weight gain is all the hormones in meat, it has the same weight gaining effect on a woman that the birth control pill does.

I quit eating meat and dairy about a year ago and lost 20lbs in 4 months. I'm 57 and haven't felt this good for a long time. It worked for me...

Remember, people that alot of meat, probably eat alot of everything else.
