Animal protein linked to death risk in men
Men with a diet rich in animal protein and meat such as sausages and cold cuts could be at a greater risk of death, finds a study.
The study found men who favoured animal protein over plant-based protein in their diet had a 23 per cent greater risk of death than men whose diet was more balanced in terms of their sources of protein.
In addition, a high overall intake of dietary protein was associated with a greater risk of death in men who had been diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease or cancer.
