Like, the study from that blog had an absolute risk increase of about 1 event per 1000 per decade for going from fully vegetarian to the highest meat intake, but the headlines were "eat meat and you'll get cancer"

Well we all know the headlines go for sensationalism. It’s the same as smoking. Risk increases but not everyone who smokes will get lung cancer yet we know the link is a causal one….
