Red meat remains the big villain in nutritional epidemiology. No matter what disease, health condition or cause of death you choose, there are teams of researchers just itching to connect it directly to how much red meat you eat—which is why every few months there seems to be a new study trying to implicate red meat as the primary cause of death, disease, and climate collapse. That's why I was surprised to read the conclusion from the latest in a long line of red meat studies: The evidence against red meat is actually quite weak and even nonexistent. What did the study explore when it comes to red meat? The funniest thing about this latest study is that they had to admit they couldn't find any strong evidence of a link between unprocessed red meat intake and six health outcomes even though they clearly were hoping to. These are the health outcomes they looked at: Colorectal cancer Type 2 diabetes Ischemic heart disease Ischemic stroke Hemorrhagic stroke Breast cancer They combined dozens of different cohorts into one massive cohort for each health outcome, drawing on studies from all over the world to extract the data. Other studies have obviously done the same thing, but this one was attempting to do something different: assess the "strength" of the evidence in favor of red meat causing heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and all the other stuff using a new tool called The Burden of Proof. The very first sentence of the abstract establishes that they consider red meat to be a "risk factor." They've already bought into it. Now, they just want to figure out how strong the evidence is. It turns out that the evidence is very poor. For colorectal cancer, type 2 diabetes, breast cancer, and ischemic heart disease, the evidence of an association with red meat intake is "weak." For hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke, the evidence is non-existent. And yet these are the ones everyone always focuses on. Search Pubmed yourself and you'll see that there are thousands of studies looking for the links between red meat intake and colorectal cancer, diabetes, stroke, breast cancer, and heart disease. Now, they're still convinced that red meat is bad. They say that a red meat intake of zero grams per day is probably ideal for health, but there's not enough evidence to justify actually recommending or prescribing that to people. "We all know" red meat is pretty unhealthy, but we can't exactly make that an official recommendation... yet. The evidence just isn't there. That's the subtext of the paper. Lots of pro-meat people were sharing this on social media, very happy that they weren't able to find any strong evidence against red meat intake. I don't think it goes far enough. I think it's still too hard on red meat. "Weak evidence" isn't accurate. It's too kind. The evidence is terrible and I suspect, if you considered all the relevant variables, it actually points in the opposite direction: toward benefits. But you'll never … Continue reading "Recent Study Concludes Evidence Against Red Meat is Weak"
