"Swapping Red Meat for Oily Fish Could Save 750,000 Lives Annually"

Swapping red meat for forage fish like herring, sardines, and anchovies could potentially save 750,000 lives annually and reduce the prevalence of diet-related diseases, according to a study. Forage fish are nutritious, environmentally friendly, and abundant, offering a higher concentration of essential nutrients and a lower carbon footprint compared to red meat. The research suggests that adopting this dietary change could have substantial public health benefits, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where these fish are readily available and heart disease rates are high.
