Jen Elford, Head of Policy, at the Vegetarian Society, responded to the story commenting: “This study provides a new level of certainty of the association between meat eating and one of the UK’s most prevalent health issues.  What makes this study stand out, is that by using a new form of data analysis, the researchers have been able to better distinguish between lifestyle factors – such as lack of exercise or smoking – and the consumption of meat itself as a risk factor.”
