Protein foods from animal sources, incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality: a substitution analysis

ConclusionsNuts, whole grains, legumes and fish appeared to be healthier protein sources than eggs, processed meat, unprocessed red meat and poultry for preventing incident CVD and premature death. The magnitude of lower risk for incident CVD and all-cause mortality was driven by amount and number of animal protein foods substituted.
