Reply to comment by Corrupted_G_nome in Study: Shifting to Plant-Based Diet Important for Colorectal Cancer Prevention by BoundariesAreFun

Correlation ≠ causation. You can consume meat 3 times a day and be a perfectly healthy individual like myself who lifts weights, runs, etc. Overconsumption of food is what leads to obesity, which ultimately leads to CVD if something else doesn’t get you first.

Thats not what the data shows. Fitness is not equal to health, one cannot see clogging arteries or excess fat on the heart.

Obviously being active and working out is healthy.

One can also smoke a pack of cigs a day and drink whisky and never work out and be healthy for decades. Observation is not data. Correlation can be positively correlated otherwise thats just whataboutism one could say for anything. But is gravity really due to mass? Correlation is not causality. Like please, thats a bad faith argument.

My LDL to HDL ratio and my triglycerides are completely okay in my results. Of course it’s important to regularly test yourself and see how you respond to consumption. I am a healthy individual and I don’t encounter issues with regular red meat consumption.

Of course someone can smoke regularly and be lucky to be healthy in the long run but of course the risk of all sorts of issues are incredibly high, and that level of risk is not comparable to the weak associations found in observational studies on red meat.
