More than a quarter of the independent studies still found neutral outcomes though.
They also define independent as any study not associated with the meat industry.
There are biases in the other direction which were not weighted. How many of these studies are associated with vegans. Let's see that break down because I'm guessing their bias is worse than the meat industry's bias.
Most of the neutral ones compare to other animal proteins though, where the unfavorable ones compare to plant proteins.
