    Most of the studies include processed meat like salami, which has known carcinogens and conflates the result to all red meat.

      This particular linked study, that is the basis for this thread, limited itself to only unprocessed red meat.

      Every study conflates high sugar consumption with meat consumption. If a pizza is considered a serving of meat, in all fairness it should also be considered a serving of plant based foods. Carbohydrates make up the bulk of pizza. And those come exclusively from plants

      We know sugar is bad for health. These observational studies are useless unless they can control for sugar and carbohydrate intake as a factor.

      Except that salami is typically made of pork, which isn’t a red meat. Most cured meats and sausages are pork based.
