Past research has shown you live longer as a vegetarian and a vegan. And then there's the planet health and how much water and other products it takes to get meat on the table. I have listed some of the research, there is of course a lot more out there.

Increased fat intake negatively alters the microbiome

The whole world is against low carbers right? Yet the majority of the world doesn't believe that eating low carb is healthy. But just because you prefer that way to eat, everyone else must be wrong.
Guys if you want to eat low carb, that's your choice and obviously is easier for some people to control their sugars that way and that's important. But it's not healthier than other ways of eating. And other ways of eating are not bad.
All untrue for me, impossible to persuade me that making mine or others insulin and blood sugar higher, replacing animal fat with either sugar or vegetable seed oils leads to better health. If we pick any time pre-1975' ish and look at the disease / condition states (i'm talking diabetes, obesity, alzheimer's, other autoimmune and the like) and compare to now when 70% of the diet is already plant based (Ted Naimen), it is clear where the problem is - low fat / high carbohydrate modern diet. The above is used as scare tactics due to the success of LCHF / Keto. I have searched for deaths on LCHF / Keto hard to find, yet Atkins has been around for ages - by now there should have been tens of thousands directly correlated. Studies like to use words like "could" - can we do "does", "did", this would be creditable, this can't be done because it is not fact. How many book authors or in the litigation based USA persons have been sued for the LCHF / Keto protocol.
The last 50 years if looked at by aliens would be deemed as an extinction level event. A plant based diet cleans up the worst diet ever, so of course gets some results......but how does it stack up against a LCHF / Keto. The success stories on Facebook, Instagram, here and diet Doctor are dominated by a particular methodology (not to say others don't work in the short term), these persons don't just report diabetes management / remission.
If you read some of last weeks posts on this site, there were at least 2 persons having to move from certain protocols as blood glucose goes too high, the lowest HbA1c's, fasting insulin for Type 2's I have seen on this site are for LCHF / Keto. This is the result for weight loss when for once what is recognisable as a Keto diet is put up against other methods
https://www.itv.com/feelgood/save-money-feelgood/save-money-lose-weight. For those without the time Keto was almost 3 times more effective. Whilst this is not scientific, it is no coincidence that low carb tends to do better when the test is fair (e.g. not high carb still or tainted with vegetable oils and similar).
When tests such as saturated fat are completed, this should not include "fake" fat, why not for example test using say sirloin / ribeye steak the saturated linoleic acid fat in this is protective, not just proven in tests but throughout human existence - we keep forgetting about history. If we compare say a "heart healthy" breakfast of brown toast (maybe jam / marmalade) with margarine and a banana and a glass of skimmed milk, how does this stack up against bacon and eggs, raspberries and nuts.
