- U.K. researchers have found that vegetarians have better indicators of health, called biomarkers, than people who eat meat.
- Vegetarians had overall lower levels of cholesterol, among other biomarkers.
- Experts say people don’t have to become vegetarian to be healthy. Instead, eating meat in moderation can lead to better health.
People who follow a vegetarian diet have a healthier biomarker profile than meat eaters, found a new observational study of more than 177,000 British adults being presented at this week’s European Congress on Obesity (ECO).
According to the researchers, this applied to people of any age and weight, and was unaffected by tobacco and alcohol consumption.
