And yet when studies are done where people eat the same except for red meat the correlation disappears.

Here’s the thing eating red meat is normal, vegetarians are generally more concerned with their health and do a lot of other healthy things.

Do note I said "high consumption" - the studies are implying that the two groups are not eating the same and the difference is red meat.

I do not doubt that there is some level of red meat consumption that does not have a statistically significant impact on ACM.

For who? Everyone?

All individuals are different but when discussing all cause mortality.. yes I think that is in reference to potentially everyone.

Until you can tell me what percent of people are “potentially everyone “you can’t say this diet helps any specific person. This idea of something being generally good for a population can cause illness to a substantial amount of people.

For the animals

correlation is not causation, unless you have an agenda
