Epidemiological studies cannot definitively answer questions about the health effects of specific foods like meat.

“epidemiology cannot answer this question so I if I were king I would outlaw the media sharing studies that can't tell us the thing that they're trying to study these are hypothesis generating studies”

“many of the things that we have that are told to us about the negative qualities of meat are observational epidemiology they're not actually experimental”

“I think that the main reason that people are so confused and just is that if you look at the evidence that they bring forward it gets to be a little nuanced but they can only provide epidemiology studies”
