Indeed, unlike animal protein, plant protein has not been associated with increased insulinlike growth factor 1 levels28, 29 and has been linked to lower blood pressure,30 - 32
reduced low - density lipoprotein levels,32 - 34 and improved insulin sensitivity.35 Substitution of plant protein for animal protein has been related to a lower incidence of CVD36 - 39 and type 2 diabetes.40 - 42 Moreover, although a high intake of red
meat, particularly processed red
meat, has been associated with increased mortality in a recent meta - analysis of 13 cohort studies, 43 high
consumption of nuts, a major contributor to plant protein, has been associated lower CVD and all - cause mortality.44 These results underscore the importance of protein sources for risk assessment and suggest that other components in protein - rich foods (eg, sodium, 45 nitrates, and nitrites46 in processed red
meat), in addition to protein
per se, may have a critical health effect.

Accordingly, unless action is taken to
reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, climate change could cut the projected improvement in food availability by approximately a third by 2050, which in turn would lead to average
per - person reductions in food availability of 3.2 %, or 99 kcal, fruit and vegetable intake by 4.0 %, or 14.9 grams
per day, and red
meat consumption by 0.7 %, or 0.5 grams
per day.
