Meat-eatersare happier. A recent study of high scientific quality confirms what had already been revealed by previous research.<\/em><\/p>\n

Meat-eaters suffer less anxiety<\/strong> and depression<\/strong> than vegans<\/strong> and vegetarians. A meta-analysis<\/a> examined the effects of meat consumption<\/strong> on mental health<\/strong>, revealing significant differences between those mental health<\/strong> and those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

In parallel with increased mental disorders<\/strong>, vegetarianism and veganism<\/strong> became prevalent worldwide. Studies have investigated this report given the well-known positive effect of meat on appositive mood. Previous systematic reviews<\/a> had already detected much lower rates of mental health problems<\/strong> in meat-eaters. With this new meta-analytical review, the strength of this report has been examined, providing a comprehensive quantitative assessment of high scientific quality.<\/p>\n

Out of a total of 171,802 participants<\/strong> with 157,778 meat-eaters and 13,259 abstaining totally from its consumption, it emerged that vegans<\/strong> and vegetarians are significantly much more depressed and anxious<\/strong>. Especially in vegans, depression levels are very high, with an increased tendency to self-harm and suicide<\/strong>. In addition, in both groups that exclude meat entirely from the diet, a greater likelihood of drugs<\/strong> prescribed for mental problems has been found.<\/p>\nA recent study of high scientific quality confirms: #meat-eaters suffer less #anxiety and depression than #vegans and #vegetarians. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n

The meta-analysis has also shown that the more rigorous the study is, the more positive and consistent is the relationship between meat consumption<\/strong> and a greater sense of well-being. Meat-eaters have better moods, less perception of stress, and a higher quality of life, as what we eat has a significant influence on our psyche<\/strong>. This study finally provides reliable quantitative evidence on the relationship between diet and mental health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The conclusions also refer to the past studies of poor scientific quality that put meat in a bad light due to severe methodological errors, wrong design and distorted and selective sampling strategies. Many of these studies that show the superiority of the vegan diet<\/strong> has recruited samples from vegan and vegetarian websites, social network groups, restaurants, and vegan communities. This creates a falsified data collection that leads to unreliable results<\/strong>, especially if solid ideologies towards eating behaviours emotionally drive participants.<\/p>\n

That is why all the newer and scientifically superior studies show that meat<\/strong> is not the cause of pathologies<\/strong>, even in higher doses than recommended. Meat has a proven beneficial active role in a good mood, effectively helping to ward off anxiety<\/strong> and depression<\/strong>. Policymakers and medical communities should be aware of these conclusions to direct future research and re-evaluate unjustly blamed nutritious food. These findings are not the first to show that a restrictive diet<\/strong> can threaten good mental health<\/strong> and are also crucial for updating clinical practice<\/strong> in treating mental disorders.<\/p>\n
