not really news, except an acedemic source telling us what we know. health impacts across populations dont necessarily mean much for individuals. later in article gives example, triple amount of red meat means incidence increases from 0.4% of population to 0.48%.

But a lot of us mere mortals like me aren’t as clever and articulate like you, so when we are told it’s bad for you we believe it [emoji23]

Not really a U-turn, just a study coming to different conclusions. It’s not as if the scientific community have agreed to all change their minds.

Quite often headlines are generated on the back of one-off studies, where if you dig into the detail do not have statistically significant findings.

I will take my bacon on white bread with brown sauce please, but just as an occasional treat.

Exactly. Science reporting in the mainstream news is generally awful.

I'm celebrating. Blacklock Soho tonight for dinner. Going for their 'all in' combo of glutinous red meat. YUM!

It is bad for you but not significantly so at an individual level.

I've been avoiding red and processed meat for the past two to three years, environmentally it's better to but I may have the odd sneaky bacon butty! (brown sauce, of course)

Know what you mean - I can't eat fish either as it always gives me a haddock.....
