The Claim
Among individuals who report brisk walking, the association between red and processed meat intake and all-cause and cancer mortality is weaker than among those who report slow walking.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People who walk briskly have a weaker link between eating red and processed meat and dying from any cause or cancer compared to people who walk slowly.
See the scientific wording
The association between red and processed meat intake and all-cause and cancer mortality is weaker among individuals who report walking briskly compared to those who walk slowly, suggesting that higher physical function may attenuate the risk.
When people walk briskly, their muscles and liver work harder to break down and remove harmful substances from red and processed meat, and their bodies produce less inflammation, which lowers the chance of cell damage and death.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who walk quickly have a smaller increase in death risk from eating red or processed meat compared to those who walk slowly, and this study found that exact pattern in a large group of people.
