In an Asian cohort of 296,721 people, the men who ate the most red meat had the LOWEST rates of CVD, and the women who are the most red meat had the LOWEST rates of cancer. (PMID 23902788)
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

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.

red meat intake was inversely associated with cardiovascular mortality in men and inversely associated with cancer mortality in women in asian countries
red meat was associated inversely with cardiovascular disease in men and with cancer mortality in women in asian countries
red meat intake was inversely associated with cbd mortality in men and cancer mortality in women in asian countries
now i want to point out as i've talked about in other podcasts with joel and and and many others in the past that there are many epidemiology studies like the one i'll show in a moment that don't show these associations at all and these are generally studies done in asia where the narrative is completely different where red meat has not been associated with beer drinking motorcycle riding unhealthy behaviors and rebellion over the last 70 years and plants have not been associated with beaver cleaver types who pay their taxes on time and play tennis and do all these things that people who follow the rules do that may also associate with better health outcomes in asia meat is associated with affluence which means that we people want to eat meat because it is generally associated with people who have more money are doing better in their life so isn't it intriguing that in asian studies those who eat more meat have the lowest rates of heart disease and the lowest rates of cancer in men and women respectively
their pooled analysis did not provide evidence of a higher risk of mortality for total meat intake but it did provide evidence for an inverse association with red meat poultry and fish seafood which means red meat was inversely associated with cardiovascular disease mortality in men and cancer mortality in asian countries
there is a whole host of epidemiologic studies done in asia which shows that the people who are eating the most red meat across multiple countries these are epidemiologic studies including over 225 000 people multiple studies like this the men who eat the most red meat have the lowest rates of heart disease
and if you look at eastern epidemiology observational studies you will find that large studies over 220 000 people across asia the more red meat people eat the lower the rates of heart disease were in men and lower the rates of breast cancer were in women
what we do see in the east is that the men who eat the most red meat have the lowest rates of heart attacks and the women who eat the most red meat have the lowest rates of breast cancer
red meat intake was inversely associated with cardiovascular disease mortality in men and with cancer mortality in women in asian countries
in Asia meat is associated with affluence that is why we see those associations with epidemiology and that is the danger epidemiology it's not really telling us about the meat per se it's telling us about the behaviors that go along with it
red meat intake was inversely associated with cardiovascular disease mortality in men and with cancer mortality in women in asian countries
what we do see in the east is that the men who eat the most red meat have the lowest rates of heart attacks and the women who eat the most red meat have the lowest rates of breast cancer
red meat intake was inversely correlated with cardiovascular mortality in men and cancer mortality in women and Asian countries
and the women who eat the most red meat had the lowest rates of breast cancer specifically I believe and that's a very big study in fact that's a conglomerate of multiple studies with over 200 000 participants
what we do see in the East is that the men who eat the most red meat have the lowest rates of heart attacks and the women who eat the most red meat have the lowest rates of breast cancer
red meat intake was inversely associated with cardiovascular disease mortality in men and with cancer mortality in women in Asian countries
