If you're vegan, good on you. But please don't tell people with cancer that meat & dairy caused or exacerbated their illness. This is profoundly irresponsible nonsense, & harms patients. Leave the cancer dietary advice to oncology dieticians, not sanctimonious half-wits.

Alcoholic drinks are in the same class. Being certain it increases risk isn't the same as it being a large increase.

The risk of any one person's cancer being caused by their personal red meat intake is vanishingly small - at a population level there may be an increase but that is vastly different from the complexities of each individual
