In the Singh and Frasier (1998) study, individuals who ate the most red meat were also found to be the fattest, most obese, and most insulin resistant, suggesting that obesity and insulin resistance, rather than red meat itself, may be the cause of increased cancer risk.

“and in the one single study that showed a significant association between red meat consumption and gi cancer what we found was that the people who ate more red meat were also more obese and more insulin resistant so again this is unhealthy user bias at play in spades clearly clearly illustrated”

“the authors are saying that the people who ate the most red meat were also the fattest and appeared to have the highest levels of fasting insulin well does obesity have a risk of cancer yes especially colon cancers does insulin resistance have a risk of cancer yes absolutely especially colon cancers is it possible that the people eating the most red meat were also the most fat the most obese the most insulin resistant and the red meat had nothing to do with that it was other health behaviors they were doing seed oils processed sugars we can hypothesize about this all day long that created states of obesity and insulin resistance and that is where their increased risk of cancer came from it is absolutely possible”

“six showed an association but of the six only one showed a significant Association five out of Six studies the association was nonsignificant and in the one single study that showed a significant association between red meat consumption and GI cancer what we found was that the people who ate more red meat were also more obese and more insulin resistant”
