The question is: How much is too little. The 3 people that I know with cancer were vegans and one of them had their doctor immediately ask if he ate meat. He told them “no”, and the doctor said “you better start”. He still died from leukemia a couple of years later (that was before Fen-Ben was widely understood to deal with cancer).

One of the reasons red meat is valuable is its iron content. Chocolate and molasses also have a lot of iron. The more foods with iron you consume, the less meat you need.

I was anemic last January. I suspected a gastric bleed. It was more than that. A duodenal ulcer, 7 pre-cancerous polyps and adenocarcinoma of the Ampulla of Vater (surgical pathology pT3a, pN0). The Whipple surgery in June 2024 removed my duodenum, so absorbing iron is more difficult than before. Red meat is a necessary resource to stay alive.
