You’re going to hear a lot about red meat tomorrow. @AnnalsofIM has published 4 SRs & recommendation from Gordon Guyatt & others.

Here was my take for @SMC_London

And an old thread that is relevant here.

@AnnalsofIM @SMC_London Also, folk might like to see the reactions of other ‘experts’ here:

@AnnalsofIM @SMC_London In particular, Rod Jackson’s (Auckland) comments chime with me:

Let’s not forget that the latest #redmeat studies do not recommend eating MORE meat!

They just don’t have much confidence in the evidence they reviewed that underpins the observed small increased risk with eating 3-4+ servings per week.

Just realised could have phrased some things a bit better.
When I (& others) say “small benefits”, what we mean is that only a few people (out of many, say 1000) see the benefit. That’s not to say that the health outcome(s) that benefit are not important, especially to you.
