the claim

Vegetarians live longer than meat eaters.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that vegetarians live longer than meat eaters?

Partly. One summary source asserts vegetarians tend to live longer, while a review and a meta-analysis report no significant overall mortality advantage and mixed cancer risks, arguing diet quality rather than meat exclusion drives outcomes. The evidence covers only parts of the claim and does not settle overall lifespan.
