is a diet high in animal protein positively or negatively correlated with lifespan?
i keep hearing about how animal protein is killing us and that plant based diets will lead to more longevity but i dont know what sources to read or if its just fagscience.
do you guys know?
for what its worth i have heard that red meat is correlated with cancer and heart disease so when i say animal proteins its more in reference to chicken and fish.
avoid processed foods

everything in moderation really. A bit of meat a day does have health benefits, just don't have it as your primary source of kcals by any means.
Japan has the most people that live past 100 and fish is a staple of their diet. Fishing provinces in Canada have the highest life span in our country.

It is difficult to suss out the objectively best diet because there are so many confounding variables. Sure, people who eat a lot of red meat likely have shorter life spans... but thats because there is a fair chance that meet is paired with unhealthy side dishes, too few vegetables, and alcohol.
It's a fair bet to say that somebody who is vegan is also aware of the important of calorie counting and at least trying to get your micros. Any data about "meat" vs "no meat" is biased from the start, since "meat" is the default and captures everybody in our society's disgustingly high obesity rate.
Just count your calories, try to eat more fish (better micro counts that red meat), and always make sure to get a good amount of green veggies. Anything more is arguing with data that has a high likelihood of being tainted.
