    I think it's important to emphasize that when they say meat increases your risk for some disease by 19%, that doesn't mean if your current risk was 1%, it's now 20%. It's 1.19%.
    When people hear that statement, "increases by 19%", they think (MyCurrentRisk)+19. Not (MyCurrentRisk)*1.19... which is what they should be thinking. Relative risk is a hard concept to grasp for a lot of people.

      Also the % are useless information to us, we don't know what they correlate to, 29% higher chance of cancer could be anything, if the original chance was 1% then it's now 1.29%, or it could be full on 29%, or even 0.0029%
      The info is meant to sound alarming, it's meant to scare us, but in reality the numbers have no meaning on an individual person, it's only meaningful on a society scale, and only when all of the numbers are proven, and explained.

    I've been vegeterian for the past 4+ years(I still eat fish every once in a while) and honestly I feel pretty normal. But the fact is even before I went full on, I didn't like meat at all(which in my country is considered very weird) so it wasn't that hard for me to switch.
    But I think it really depends on your taste, habits, surroundings and sime other factors whether you will consume a lot of meat.
    And honestly, I don't judge people who eat meat, because as Kurzgesagt pointed out, it has its health benefits. Heck, even within my own family there are people on both sides and we still sit down and eat on the same table.
    I just wish non-vegeterians would treat me the same way too and I stop recieving weird looks when I tell other people I don't eat meat, because it's really annoying.

      Processed meat has been classified as definitively carcinogenic, with plutonium and asbestos. However, it should be noted that this classification is misleading since you need to eat kilos of process meat every month for years to see an increase the cancer risk of a few percent. As for plutonium, you touch one gram of it and you are dead in a few days at best. It is a weird way of classification, I think.

    ever since I had my first period I suffered from Iron deficiency and I've used iron pills for years. I've tried being vegetarian but it didn't work when I lived in Turkey cause the nutritional products that I had to buy were really expensive. I've been living in Germany for 6 months now and I can't say that I'm a vegetarian but I have a plant based diet 95% of the time. When I travelled to Turkey after 4.5 months of being in Germany, I had a blood test done to see if I lack iron. Turns out my iron has risen like never before and I feel completely healthy and not bloated or uncomfortable because of trying to digest the meat.

      However, the people around me who do eat meat regularly are so unhealthy and have so many complications and yet continue to eat the same stuff, even though they’re aware of the fact that it is killing them slowly. I would rather just eat the way I do and continue to feel good physically and morally! It’s all a matter of perspective in the end.

      In nutrition, "processed" basically means that you remove something good and/or add something bad. Grilling, boiling, steaming, chopping, refrigerating, freezing etc. are not among the things that makes something processed. Adding additives (except for spices) makes something processed. Including adding oil, sugar and/or salt (although it becomes a gradient at very low volumes). Removing good things, like going from a whole grain to refined, or a whole orange to orange juice (i.e. removing most or all fibers) also makes something processed.

    • @SubjectE57
      @SubjectE57 5 лет назад

      When you cut a slab of meat directly out of a dead animal without any other process it's "unprocessed". Things like freezing/thawing are borderline as they can alter the structure of the meat but don't change its nutritional content.
      If you're looking for things to avoid pre-cooked or cured meats are generally considered to be the worst. When cooking meat it's best to render away excess fat while avoiding over-cooking or burning, meat-fumes are also potentially hazardous and should be avoided as much as possible.

      Literally almost ALL prepackaged, precooked meat is processed.
      Cured and smoked meats are the most obvious examples, but often it is just the shitload of preservatives that are added to make it last longer.
      Basically the only way around it and still enjoy things like sausages is to find a butcher shop that makes them raw, or straight up pre cooks them without any preservatives. In other words, you somehow got to track down a local butcher shop that has the proper equipment.

      They didn't even explain that only processed meats with artificial preservatives are the ones that are dangerous. So basically, those are any meat in cans, tetra packs, and some in jars.
      I don't think homemade processed meats are dangerous because those artificial preservatives are not really handily available for anyone. And that's why I will keep on making my homemade sausages, luncheon meat, and cured ham.

      @@theluiginoidperson1097 is correct though just so you all know. It's important to note that the first 'meat' we ate was fish. It was specifically the omega-3s in fish oil in greater amounts that allowed us to develop larger brain sizes. Read about this in Carl Sagan's "The Dragons of Eden"
