The short answer

Provides high-quality protein, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and selenium.

Evidence and scope
Food context; study findings do not grade the whole food.
Important limitation
Prospective evidence depends strongly on what poultry replaces; minimally processed poultry can provide protein without the risks attached to processed meat.
Before deciding
Choose minimally processed forms and cook safely. Breading, deep-frying, processed deli meat, and what poultry replaces can change the health context.

02 / RESEARCH

Evidence map: baseline and emerging signals

The current baseline stays visually separate from credible findings that are mechanistic, responder-dependent, small, or not yet replicated.

Established / currently defensibleProspective evidence depends strongly on what poultry replaces; minimally processed poultry can provide protein without the risks attached to processed meat.

The general interpretation that does not depend on one unreplicated positive result. An established limitation is as important as an established benefit.

The abstract reports a qualified or outcome-specific signal. It does not establish a general health benefit beyond the tested form, population, comparator, and duration.
