I'm not gonna debate you dude, I truly don't care about this enough.That's not what the studies look at. They isolate the variables. For example, there's the fat profile of red meat, along with heme iron, TMAOs, nitrates (for processed meat), or just comparing protein sources among a population. As for carcinogenic concerns, with the exception of colorectal cancer, the carcinogens appear to stem from compounds created in the cooking of meat, not the fact that it is red meat itself.
So to recap, if we take a sample population with say, 30% calories from fat, then compare heme iron among that group and notice a positive correlation with CVD, it's clearly a red meat association.
If you think red meat is bad for you, that sounds like a 'you' problem.
FWIW, those studies really do just look at end outcomes, and the researchers do have an agenda. The "red meat is bad" crowd is the same as the "tax the carbon footprint" crowd.
