    Was reminded of this old blog recently - scare stories about red meat and cancer are still all too commonhttps://gidmk.medium.com/red-meat-isnt-giving-us-all-cancer-b39e4369d7f2 …

        There's a reasonable basis for arguing that at a population level there might be some reduction in cancer rates if people stopped eating PROCESSED red meat

        Less strong is the argument that eating non-processed red meat might impact cancer rates - even if there is some reduction, it would be pretty modest at a population level

        But at an individual level, the arguments get really bad indeed. If you entirely cut out red meat from your diet, the evidence suggests it'll reduce your absolute risk of cancer in the next 10 years by (generally) less than 0.1%

        Hmmm I respectfully disagree on this - my research in the uk was bowel cancer (stem cell, pure science and maths) and the evidence of the link between red meat and bowel cancer is pretty sturdy…

        Association not causation. It’s the shitty seed oils and the crappy carbs you ate with the meat?

        I’m also taking a moment to appreciate the irony of my commenting on this in light of the tweet I literally just sent out! 😜🤪

        some cancers get encouraged by overeating > perhaps the reason why we think its the Beef.

        There's also the high environmental cost of everyone eating a lot of read meat and the way red meat has come to symbolize and been used to promote toxic male supremacist ideology (in the US at least) and how vegetables are seen as unmanly commie plot.

        Just to say, eating less red meat may be good for everyone's health in the long run for a variety of reasons.

        Red meat link with cancer/CVD is well discussed near the end of episode 378 by @NutritionDanny https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ONYdWQ4TuQrantUJqPHIb?si=32bGg1snSl-tdutzoy2AUw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1 … Nothing like smoking for sure, not negligible at the population level in my understanding
