Answers:
There are no guarantees and nobody can tell you how long you will live!.
Everybody will have examples of relatives who lived into old age with healthy or unhealthy diets!.
My examples are my meat-eating grandmother who lived into her nineties and my aunt who lived into her nineties and was a lacto-ovo vegetarian for around 70 years!.
Then there's my meat-eating aunt, dead of cancer before her 50th birthday!. And me, vegetarian most of my life, vegan for 13 years - developed cancer in my late 40s!. If I live to 60, I'm having the biggest party you've ever seen because for some time I didn't think I would!.
No guarantees, you see!. It's received wisdom on this board that being veg*n means you'll live longer but nobody ever offers any actual proof!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on how much eggs and dairy/cheese you eat, how much excercise you get, if you will develop any vice (smoking, drinking, drugs etc), if you eat balanced meals etc!. the environement oin which you live" polluted vs clean air, sanitary vs unsanitary etc etc!.
diet alone does not guarantee anything!.

Vegetarians suffer fewer heart attacks than meat eaters!.24-37 Interestingly, this benefit dissipates as vegetarians age!. For instance, one study showed that vegetarians under the age of 65 were 45% less like to suffer a heart attack than were meat eaters!. Once vegetarians reached the age of 80, however, their heart attack risk was only 8% lower than that of meat eaters!.
Excess consumption of red meat increases the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and other disorders!. As a result, health-conscious people are eating more fruit, vegetables, and fish, and are staying away from beef!. With all the benefits attributed to plant foods, one might think that vegetarians enjoy a huge life-span advantage over meat eaters!.
SO THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION NOOO!! YOU WILL LIVE LONGER!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is no magic formula for figuring out your lifespan!. There are plenty of examples of people treating their bodies like garbage dumps that outlived many of their peers!.
Its mostly genetic!. I wouldn't worry about it, but if you have a fear of death, look at your family history!. Keep eating healthy!. I swear that is what helped my grandmother live to the age of 94 while everyone around her died from cancer or heart disease by the age of 70!. She was a diabetic since the age of 48, and disciplined herself to eat fresh, eat all her meals on time every day, have her snacks, and to follow the proper diabetic diet!. Much of her food came from her own garden!. And she ate half a grapefruit every morning for breakfast, no matter what else she ate at breakfast, with a cup of decaf coffee!. Stubborn old bat! Love her to death and I miss her!Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, if you don't let yourself become overweight, watch your cholesterol and eat an overall balanced diet, there is no reason that you wouldn't live as long as you would on a balanced with meat!.
