Are Animal Products Harmful to Human Health? What the Science Says with Alan Flanagan
It was my absolute pleasure to host Alan Flanagan (@thenutritional_advocate) for a deep dive into the science on animal products and human health outcomes. Generally, and understandably, people have a hard time separating the moral and ethical implications of meat consumption from the objective assessment of the evidence on human health effects. While not meant to sway you back to eating animal products if you are currently vegan, plant predominant, or reducing, this episode is instead aimed to encourage more nuanced thought when it comes to how we approach nutritional science.We cover:How are we reading science wrong?Should we discount observational studies?What does the science say on red meat?What about chicken? Is is the “healthy” option?Don’t drink milk from another animal? And will it cause cancer?Dairy, acne and asthma.Are there benefits to fish?What about mecury and pollutons from fish?Does protein and leucine increase cancer risk?What dietary pattern is best for human health?Alinea NutritionAlan Flanagan IGIf you enjoy this episode please share it with someone you think will find value in it!To help others find this information please consider giving a quick review and rating on iTunes, I will be forever grateful.How to leave a review.Of course, be sure to follow VBC on Instagram here and on Youtube here for the full video episode.For coaching, programming and to read my story, check out the brand new VBC website here.See you in the next episode VBC family, More plants friends!Support the showAre you ready to finally understand how to build muscle, lose fat and eat healthy as a vegan?I’ve created a mini course to do just that.
