@brianjarvis Good articles, Brian; but they left out an important metric - at least in the first article I read: what amount in grams are they talking about when they say ‘higher intakes’? Higher than what exactly?
I always believed in ‘all things in moderation’ and still do. But again, what exactly is that and who is keeping score on what is moderate?
Interestingly, when I became allergic to all red meat and its byproducts after a tick bite, my diet was exclusively poultry based. Yes, I also ate eggs -maybe 2 per week? And consumed dairy in the form of 2% yogurt 5X/week - all heart healthy recommendations.
Yet, my prostate cancer returned ON THIS VERY DIET, so I still am more inclined toward the genetics of disease over our ability to control them with diet.
Can diet help? Maybe…but as they say, put lipstick on a pig, you still have a pig.
Jim Fixx famously thought he could ‘outrun’ his genetic history of cardiac death at an early age…he could not. Best,

@brianjarvis The link you provided seems to indicate that many studies link red meat and cancer.
