studies published in the journal <i>Nature Medicine<\/i>, said he was &#8220;very surprised at how many of the diet risk-outcome relationships are relatively weak.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Murray told a press conference that the meta-analysis was prompted by concern that &#8220;everyone follows the latest published study,&#8221; even though the results often &#8220;swing from one end to the other&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers looked at the existing research on the subjects, crunched the numbers to find consistency, then asked &#8220;what is the most conservative interpretation of the evidence?&#8221; Murray said.<\/p>\n<p><b>What about vegetables?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The researchers investigated how eating more vegetables affected a range of health outcomes, looking at 50 studies encompassing 4.6 million participants across 34 countries.<\/p>\n<p>Increasing the amount of vegetables people eat from zero to four a day led to a 23 percent decline in the risk of ischaemic stroke, with the connection getting three stars, IHME epidemiologist and study co-author Jeffrey Stanaway said.<\/p>\n<p>The link between eating vegetables and type two diabetes received only one star.<\/p>\n<p>But &#8220;even under the most conservative interpretation of the evidence, vegetable consumption is significantly associated with reduced chronic disease risk,&#8221; Stanaway said.<\/p>\n<p>Experts not involved in the research called it interesting, but warned against over simplification.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin McConway, a statistician at the UK&#8217;s Open University, worried that &#8220;a great deal is inevitably lost&#8221; when complex studies were boiled down to a star rating.<\/p>\n<p>Duane Mellor, a dietician at the UK&#8217;s Aston University, said the red meat research was &#8220;not that surprising&#8221; because it focused on unprocessed products.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Typically it is intake of processed red meat, such as bacon and sausages, which have been associated with a higher risk of disease, which these papers did not report on,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The IHME said it plans to update its findings as new research comes in, hoping the new tool will guide the choices of the public and policymakers. <\/p>\n<p>It will also soon release findings about other health relationships including those involving alcohol, air pollution and further dietary factors.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                                                                        New star rating system helps people make informed decisions about diet and healthy habits\n                                                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                Christopher Murray, The Burden of Proof studies: assessing the evidence of risk, <i>Nature Medicine<\/i> (2022).  <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-doi=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1038\/s41591-022-01973-2\">DOI: 10.1038\/s41591-022-01973-2<\/a>. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41591-022-01973-2\">www.nature.com\/articles\/s41591-022-01973-2<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 How bad is red meat for you?
