One study found that eating meat increases the workload on the kidneys within hours of consumption, while processing plant protein did not have the same effect.

The book covers about 500 studies so they can't be all summarized or lumped together.

Some diets that may have short term benefits like weight loss are not good for longevity.

Those who have studied long-lived populations recommend a 95% to 100% diet based on what's worked for our oldest populations.

> Supercentenarian birthdates also exhibit ‘age heaping’ distributional patterns that are strongly indicative of manufactured birth data. Finally, fewer than 15% of exhaustively validated supercentenarians are associated with either a birth certificate or a death certificate, even in populations with over 95% death certificate coverage.

> As such, these findings suggest that extreme age data are largely a result of vital statistics errors and patterns of fraud, raising serious questions about the validity of an extensive body of research based on the remarkable reported ages of populations and individuals.

huh. need to do some more validation then.

does study has conclusion that it is something bad and/or workload is too high? One can say that exercises produce methabolic stress on body, and lying on the coach does not..
