Both appear to be 100% true facts! Processed meats. Yuck!

I'm surprised they didn't mention shoes. The majority of people who contracted cancer wore shoes, so there's a definite correlation. They need to add this as a question on the next food history consumption questionnaire. Go barefoot, save lives.

I have become weary of all these pseudo studies proving nothing and pseudo articles advocating whatever pops into the writer's head. I am trying to just ignore it all and go with what I have found to work and what is supported by "science" that is not as corrupted by conflicts of interest or strict adherence to conventional views.

Red meat (beef, veal, pork, lamb, offal)

Processed meat (bacon, smoked ham, salami, frankfurter, Cumberland sausage, cold cuts, liver pa^teŽ, processed fish that is fish prepared by pickling, salting, or smoking)





Red meat= far more than beef, all the livestock AMericans typically eat except fowl and fish.

Processed meats include pickled fish, salted fish and pate.....

This criteria looks very muddied. This study did not determine anything.


Veal producers would be horrified to know veal is now "red" and pork has been advertised as " the other white meat"---to call the sorted list "red meat" is purposely misleading IMO. Why was wasn't the label "UNprocessed meat" used?

All very suspect. Lots of useless research hours.

Yeah, some scientists these idjits are. Look here:

Conclusion

This systematic review and meta‐analysis including prospective cohort studies of red meat and processed meat consumption provides evidence that higher consumption of processed meat is associated with higher risk of breast cancer. However, red meat was not a significant cause of breast cancer. Moreover, we did not find evidence for differing associations according to NAT2 genotypes. Further studies examining molecular subtypes of breast cancer are needed.

...was not a significant cause of...

That's the phrasing somebody uses when he's trying to show causation (but fails). In spite of the fail, the message is clear - red meat causes breast cancer.

I just figured out a trick. This is how it's done. An example to illustrate.

Let's say I wanna show pepper causes flibbits (who knows what flibbits is, I'm just trying to turn pepper into a bad guy). So I look at both pepper and aflatoxin consumption in the same meta-analysis of a series of prospective cohort studies that look at that, then I title this study something like so.

Consumption of Pepper and Aflatoxin and Flibbits Incidence: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of prospective studies

I name pepper first, see? In the conclusion, of course, based on truly mindbogglingly extensive data massaging, I report that pepper does not cause flibbits, cuz it just doesn't, but I report it, cuz I looked at it so deeply and wrote every little bit of insignificant data I looked at and massaged all that data in every imaginable way, and then some, just so I could justify writing about pepper and flibbits at least a few times in every paragraph. Now for the clincher. When that reporter reports about all that, he smartly omits to report that pepper does not cause flibbits, cuz it's just not newsworthy. Instead, he focuses only on the aflatoxin.

Yeah, two guys got accused. One found innocent. But nobody talks about him. It's all about the guilty. In the end, the innocent is still guilty in our eyes, cuz everybody thought he was guilty, and nobody was notified that he actually isn't.

Now let's look at a more honest paper, my favorite, the all-meat trial. They tested meat consumption. This wasn't a comparision with some other potential culprit, it's just meat. In the conclusion, they couldn't possibly report about anything else, so meat is the only thing they report on. And guess what? It's the same conclusion as this retarded meta-analysis. Consuming meat in literally any quantity does not cause any bad thing whatsoever, ever. Ever.

While I essentially agree with your view, I would like to point out that this phrasing stems from the design of the study. It should not have any of the implied meaning at all but I understand how it could be viewed that way.

It's always bacon, processed meats. Never pickled herring, processed meats. Processed meats are such a broad category, and bacon has not been singled out here in the research, only in the press report. If somebody reported that Italians, Europeans are more prone to type I diabetes--but there was no separate analysis of Italians and their rate of diabetes, this would be frankly dishonest. No problem with giving examples of processed meats--it's the singling out that I have a problem with. It's important to be specific about just how specific (or not) the findings are.

Those are "statistical studies" which is also refereed as soft science. Still need hard science to back them up.

I read some papers times ago. If I come across them, I'll post a follow up.

"Prior studies on red and processed meat consumption with breast cancer risk have generated inconsistent results." So without the results we wanted, we then tortured the data and results until we got a scary headline by using "The multivariable‐adjusted relative risk (RR) combined comparing the highest with the lowest category of red meat (unprocessed) and processed meat consumption using a random‐effect meta‐analysis."

This is me, quoting me, referring to me. Stay humble.

Okay, found it;

Still cracks me up...



Of course this statement doesn't fill me with optimism about the competence of the research.

Relative risk comparisons seem to appear when the trial doesn't prove anything of significance. It's all they have left to try and force something to prove a bias.
