Red meat is blamed for one in 10 early deaths (PANIC !!!!)

Small quantities of processed meat such as bacon, sausages or salami can increase the likelihood of dying by a fifth, researchers from Harvard School of Medicine found. Eating steak increases the risk of dying by 12%.

The study found that cutting the amount of red meat in peoples’ diets to 1.5 ounces (42 grams) a day, equivalent to one large steak a week, could prevent almost one in 10 early deaths in men and one in 13 in women.

The scientists said that the government’s current advice that people should eat no more than 2.5 ounces (70 grams) a day, around around the level the average Briton already consumes, was “generous”.

This report comes from a san fruitcisco organization with ties into gore and the report says that not eating red meat will save planet Earth... this is an Environazi propaganda piece. Search for last night's thread with links to the truth about this communist report.

How do we know it is the meats and not the potatoes who are killing us?
One eats both at the same time—where is the forensic evidence that proves which bullet, plant or animal, causes the fatal wound?

I smell the rotting cabbage stench of PETA influence in this—their veggie friends are the real murderers—who has ever avoided death after eating vegetables—these evil Burgerphobes are covering for their botanical assassins.

Not eating increases the chance of death by 100%. OMG! These swollen-foreheaded elites are insufferable.

More agenda driven science!

Study was likely done using meta analysis which is not, nor can ever be, a valid statistical methodology.

The only REAL statistical studies on environmental effects on humans were showing the link between smoking and cancer and between radiation (high levels) and some cancers (leukemia).

Everything else is crap science!

"Small quantities of processed meat such as bacon, sausages or salami can increase the likelihood of dying by a fifth, researchers from Harvard School of Medicine found. Eating steak increases the risk of dying by 12%."

The researchers need to broaden and lengthen their study.

I think they'll find that 100% of people who drink tap water at some time during their lives will die.

Tell that to Frank Schmidt and John Hunter, the fathers of meta-analysis. In those days it was called validity generalization. They used thousands of studies without regard to results, only with regard to scientific rigor. Where VG or MA fails is when you cherry pick studies, which is my guess with this group. BTW, Schmidt and Hunter came up with results that academics and leftists (sorry for the redundancy) despised, but could not refute. Too bad, they were already tenured and well established in their fields.

if one in ten deaths are caused by meat, then doesn’t that mean that 9 out of 10 deaths are caused by green food? shouldn’t we be banning them nasty, murderous vegetables???

These vegetarian Harvard fools are deaf to the death screams of peas as they’re eaten.

BTW, peas have a higher IQ than half the 2011 graduating class at Harvard.
