Vegetarian Diets: Cancer Study

A team from the Center of Cancer Research in Germany monitored almost 2,000 people aged between 10 and 70, who ate either no meat, or less than average between 1978 and 1999.

Those studied were either vegans, who eat no meat, fish, eggs or dairy products, vegetarians, who eat eggs and dairy products but no meat or fish, and occasional meat eaters.

Across the group, there was an average of 59 deaths for every 100 deaths in that age range in the general population during that period.

Meat-Free Vegetarian Diets Not Best

But completely avoiding meat was not the healthiest diet, the researchers found.

  • For every 100 deaths among vegans, there were 66 among vegetarians and 60 among occasional meat eaters.
  • Amongst smokers, the mortality rate was 70 percent higher than non-smokers.
  • Those who took the most exercise reduced their mortality rates by more than 30 percent.
  • Moderate alcohol made no discernible difference to lifespan, the researchers concluded.
