Is it known if the meat causes people to die sooner, or is it just that people who are vegan are correlated with people who care about their health so they do other things that cause the 10 year effect?

I feel like a non-lethal poison like a flea killer or something would cause a 10 year lifespan drop, so it would be surprising if meat were as deadly as flea killer poison.

I'd guess the lack of processed foods is a big part of it. Until recently if you were vegan you pretty much had to make everything from scratch. I'd also guess that the average vegan is more health conscious than the average meat eater.

When compared with the SAD standard american diet, any diet intervention (short of eating double portions of the SAD) is going yield positive results.
