if you look at the entirety the science and all the studies it's unquestionable but that meat is an ancestral human evolutionary food
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

but that meat is an ancestral human evolutionary food now it doesn't guarantee it's going to make you live forever you know paleo and eating what our distant ancestors ate is a much safer diet inherently because it's how we evolved it doesn't mean it's magical but the suggestion that meat is in any way negative as the food is is just inherently absurd
let's think about this historically have humans eaten meat yes has it been at the center of our diet yes these are very difficult to argue with these are incarcerable statements meat is at the center of our evolution for millions of years i just did a podcast with herman poncer it'll be out soon he's an anthropologist at duke he wrote a book called burn we talked about the hadza i visited them herman's visited them we agree on the fact that for the last two million years the consumption of meat has been at the center of human evolution why would this be bad for us let's just ask the question why would consuming something that made us human that was at the center of our evolutionary path as humans be harmful for us that is the question we must answer and that is the thing that makes these epidemiology studies seem so out of place they seem so nonsensical why would this happen is it possible that there are confounding factors yes i believe there are
