Investigating the risk-benefit balance of substituting red and processed meat with fish in a Danish diet.
restricted to lean fish (80 DALY s/100,000 averted), and a marked health loss (180 DALY s/100,000) was estimated when consumption was restricted to tuna. Our results show an overall beneficial effect of the ...
