This study controlled for smoking and sedentary lifestyle. It also separated out processed meat consumption. Of course, you can try to impose a zillion conditions to make relevant studies appear irrelevant (grass fed, heritage meat, cooked medium-rare, served with a glass of Bordeaux, consumed by someone who exercises regularly and lives in an area with no fumes from vehicles or industry, blah blah blah). But the science is pretty solid that the more meat you eat, the higher your risk of cancer and heart disease is.


10% greater risk of dying after taking out these factors doesn't sound that big anymore - question would be how much lower would this number get if they filter out sausages (because of the salt), antibiotics loaded meat and those who like to eat their meat either rare/medium-rare or burnt (black from the grill). I'd imagine that number to go down significantly, and then we're probably at around 5%. Would you sacrifice eating burgers for such 5%?[/quote]

Read the study. The risk for cancer goes up by 10% for each 3 oz portion added daily. No one eats just 3 oz of meat. Most people consider a dinner sized steak to be 9-12 oz, with many people eating 20+ oz at nice steakhouses. Now you are talking about an increase of 30, 40, 50%. That is huge. And I do sacrifice eating burgers to avoid the health risks.
