International health experts call for minimizing meat in daily diet

A healthy diet can improve health, significantly reduce all-cause mortality, and significantly reduce the incidence of chronic diseases.

Eating healthy can help alleviate chronic pain.

International health experts on October 3 reiterated that a healthy diet should minimize meat consumption, reaffirming a controversial conclusion that the food industry has vehemently opposed.

According to the report published in the medical journal The Lancet, a healthy diet should be “mainly plant-based, incorporating moderate amounts of animal-based foods, while minimizing consumption of added sugars, saturated fats and salt.”

The report builds on a controversial 2019 study that recommended drastically reducing meat consumption to very low levels.

Agri -food associations around the world have rejected the study's conclusions, calling them exaggerated, dangerous or inconsistent with local eating habits.

However, the scientific community welcomed the recommendations, although it also pointed out that the research did not fully take into account real-world factors such as social inequality in food access.

This report continues to emphasize environmentally friendly and healthy diets, with a focus on the “planetary health diet” model - one of the most anticipated contents.

Experts say they have updated data from the latest studies and are making recommendations that remain largely unchanged from 2019.

Specifically, red meat such as beef, pork and lamb should be limited to 15g per day (compared to the previous recommendation of 14g). Vegetable, fruit and cereal consumption should be 200g, 300g and 210g per day, respectively.

Dairy products should be at 250g/day, while fish and seafood as well as white meat such as poultry are recommended to be consumed at 30g/day.

The researchers note that this diet is clearly associated with “improved health outcomes, significantly reduced all-cause mortality, and significantly reduced rates of diet-related chronic diseases.”
