I'm sorry if my statement seemed to indicate that I thought there were no studies on the subject. I am aware that there are many studies showing that vegetarian/vegan/whole foods/raw foods/organic foods are good diets for human beings, associated with drops in cancer rates, increase in lifespan and so on.
However, I am aware that there are studies showing that animal proteins cause a drop in cancer or an increase in lifespan. And studies showing that the source of protein has no effect. And studies showing that chicken and fish are healthier than soy, but soy is healthier than beef.
Until someone locates what the
actual distinction is, the factor that turns out to be consistant through all of these studies, (or is able to produce consistant results in statistically meaningful sizes in repeat tests
and explain how all the other studies messed up) I believe the scientific community is still out on that subject.
