Dear @bryan_johnson, (part 2 of 🥩)
You cite observational studies that are riddled with confounding variables unrelated to red meat itself to make a case that red meat is harmful.
These studies fail to differentiate between unprocessed red meat, processed meat, and even processed foods, leading to erroneous conclusions.
You cannot claim meat is harmful for humans with extremely flawed observational research.
I believe your vegan diet misses out on MANY essential animal-based nutrients that are essential for human-health, and I will continue to defend meat, and especially red meat.
Let’s focus on the evidence that TRULY matters: controlled human studies.
When you look at CONTROLLED studies analyzing the effects of red meat in humans, you will find ZERO trials showing meat is harmful. In fact, several of them show benefits from meat consumption. (PMID: 35513448, 38479924, 36986140, 17237312, 28181738).
Additionally, an overwhelming body of research supports the incredible benefits of unique bioavailable nutrients found exclusively in red meat (PMID: 32072297, 30941351, 20219103, 37993715 https://t.co/rc14Kppnt0)
You also seem to have ignored some interesting observational studies that contradict your conclusions.
Research shows a positive correlation between meat consumption and life expectancy (PMID: 35228814). Furthermore, unprocessed red meat intake was not associated with increased mortality in other studies (PMID: 24932617, 33787869).
In an Asian cohort of 296,721 people, the men who ate the most red meat had the LOWEST rates of CVD, and the women who are the most red meat had the LOWEST rates of cancer. (PMID 23902788)
How about them ribeyes, Bryan?
How can meat be so harmful when it provides the most ESSENTIAL nutrients for longevity?
Vitamin A, B12, K2, choline, h-iron, creatine, taurine, anserine, carnitine, carnosine, 4-hydroxyproline, C15 are VITAL for optimal health and are ONLY found in meat and other animal foods.
This is the tip of the iceberg.
I will continue to invite you on my podcast so we can have respectful discussion about all of these issues.
Wow…
Vivek Ramaswamy just went absolute savage mode on the RNC, calling out Ronna by name, and then NBC, flipping the moderator question back onto the moderator. Has this ever been done?

Arrested today protesting the $2B megajail. Spent time in my cell thinking about how we can’t expect others to stand up for us if we don’t first stand up for ourselves. This jail is “institutionalized hate” against Chinatown in @NYCMayor’s own words. Keep your promise #NoNewJails
So proud to know these strong trail-blazing women. When we fight for change, we are never alone. Love you @deardrewdixon and @EvelynYang and so happy we finally got a group hug.
If Democrats want to avoid a mid-term wipe out, they need to stop talking about inflation, crime and the economy. Voters care about 3 things right now: Trump’s collusion with Russia in 2016; abolishing the gender binary and protecting public school students from their parents
