Tierprodukte sind assoziiert mit ungesundem Körpergewicht

Hier einige Stimmen aus der Fachliteratur:

„Nearly all observational studies comparing meat-eaters with those who avoid meat show higher body weights among the former group (...) Dietary interventions omitting meat and other animal-derived products typically lead to a reduction in energy intake without increased hunger.“

„The overall analysis among cross-sectional studies reported significant reduced levels of body mass index (...) in vegetarians and vegans versus omnivores.“

„Vegetarians have a lower prevalence of overweight and obesity (...) compared with non-vegetarians from a similar background ...“

„Prescription of vegetarian diets was associated with a mean weight change of -3.4 kg (...) The prescription of vegetarian diets reduces mean body weight, suggesting potential value for prevention and management of weight-related conditions.“

Quelle: Barnard et al. 2015

„Those who consumed more meat had a much higher daily total energy intake, for example, those in the upper vs bottom quintiles consumed around 700 more kcal [per] day (…) Regression models showed consistent positive associations between [meat consumption] and BMI [body mass index], waist circumference, obesity and central obesity ...“

„... vegan diets seem to offer additional protection for obesity, hypertension, type-2 diabetes, and cardiovascular mortality. (...) Lacto-ovo-vegetarians and vegans had respectively, 3 and 5 points lower BMI than non-vegetarians.“

„Data was collected between 2002 and 2007 from 71,751 Seventh-Day Adventist men and women, with an average age of 59. (...) Researchers found that average BMI was lowest among vegans, while average BMI was highest among the meat-eaters. Looking at obesity (defined as having a BMI over 30), researchers found that vegans had the lowest percentage of people who were obese, only 9.4%. While meat-eaters had the highest percentage of people who were obese, 33.3%. About 24 percent of semi-vegetarians were obese, 17.9% of pesco-vegetarians were obese, and 16.7% of lacto-ovo vegetarians were obese.“

„Mean BMI was lowest in vegans (23.6 kg/m2) and incrementally higher in lacto-ovo vegetarians (25.7 kg/m2), pesco-vegetarians (26.3 kg/m2), semi-vegetarians (27.3 kg/m2), and nonvegetarians (28.8 kg/m2) (...) The 5-unit BMI difference between vegans and nonvegetarians indicates a substantial potential of vegetarianism to protect against obesity.“
