Subtitle: Japan’s rate of strokes fell during a period when it began eating a bit of meat

Article is paywalled, but the subtitle appears to make a correlation between the consumption of meat in Japan and the decline in the rate of strokes. At face value, this seems dubious.



It seems plausible to me.

A small amount of meat could fix a vitamin B12 deficiency.


a small amount. Not the obscene amounts we eat here in America


Not killing off the bacteria in soil that produce B12 would also help reduce B12 deficiency, a condition that is also common among meat eaters in the US.
