The IARC WHO report on red meat and cancer is inconclusive and lacking.

“if you actually dig into that study what you'll find is that in the people who had uh this this connection between red meat and cancer there was also a higher incidence of obesity and insulin resistance and as we know observational studies really can't tease all this out so is it possible that the people who are eating more red meat also happened to be more rebellious and also looked like they were more obese and more insulin resistant absolutely and that's what you see in the study but the investigators only made the association between red meeting cancer and there's actually a stronger association between the obesity and the insulin resistance and the cancer incidence”

“the who came out basically saying that meat kind of is a carcinogen mostly processed meat but also kind of sneering at real ancestral red meats and it was based on lots of studies but when you go through them they're all junk studies associations with like a 1.08 hazard ratio and anything less than two is meaningless but they were happy to come out based on junk science and and state that they actually spent the time”

“mostly what we hear about is the iarc who report which we've talked about as being pretty darn inconclusive and lacking in so many ways”

“The WHO report on that is incredibly corrupt you can listen to my breakdowns of that in the past it was a great article by one of the members of that committee David Clearfield who was on the committee in 2015 the re-analysis and the more detailed analysis came out in 2018 the majority of members of that committee were vegans and vegetarians and so many studies were left out of that consideration”

“the majority of members of that committee were vegans and vegetarians and so many studies were left out of that consideration there were only 14 observational studies I believe give or take a few studies in that analysis they left out all of the Interventional studies they did not include any animal studies in the who judgment and eight of those 14 studies if I remember properly showed no association between red meat and cancer six did but only one of those six showed that that Association was statistically significant and that one study out of 14 is why the who believes that meat causes cancer”
