Comments on: New Study Reveals Any Amount of Red Meat Increases Your Risk of Premature Death http://inhabitat.com/new-study-reveals-any-amount-of-red-meat-is-bad-for-your-health/ Green design & eco innovation for a better world Wed, 22 May 2013 15:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: bskott http://inhabitat.com/new-study-reveals-any-amount-of-red-meat-is-bad-for-your-health/comment-page-1/#comment-378315 bskott Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:14:55 +0000 http://inhabitat.com/?p=364049#comment-378315 Oh my, there are so many problems with that study, it's meaningless! it shows a relationship, not cause and effect. You know who was avoiding meat during those 28 years of the study? People who are health conscious and were told meat is bad. Those same people were also much more likely to make healthy choices in other areas besides eating or not eating meat. And the people eating meat either never heard the warning, or don't put a lot of effort to keep up with the latest BS health findings, thus are more likely to make bad health choices in other areas. I can't believe this kind of junk science comes from Harvard. You wanna do it right? Get a bunch of people and make them live somewhere. Make them eat what you want them to eat, film every minute, track everything. Then maybe you can find some reliable cause and effect.

It's observational epistemology, that is based on the accuracy of people remembering what they ate 4 years ago. Try to remember EXACTLY what you ate last week, and then claim that you can remember what you are 4 years ago. There was no experiment, no verification, and no facts. There can be, by definition, no conclusions drawn from an analysis of estimated data like this, only theories. As an example it also "showed" that people who ate meat were more likely to smoke. Should I then believe that that means there is nicotine in meat? Just an example of the worthlessness of a study like this. This study is not actually anything resembling real science.

The study suggest that we should not eat red meat everyday. I have not seen a study about people who eat red meat once or twice a week. Great study but your title is inacurate.
