What? It is true. We know that processed red meat definitely causes cancer. It doesn't cause very much cancer - the risk is very small.

Your link starts with hyperbole (no one is being told not to eat meat)

Why are you telling me that talc is legal in eu? That just agrees with my point that eu does not ban things that we know are dangerous.

> It doesn't cause very much cancer

I can tell you're an expert on the subject from the very technical language you use.

If you think writing like an orc is "audience appropriate", you're mistaken.

They picked a 95% confidence level, which means they accept that 1/20 of their positives will be false positives.

They did this when conducting a study on "more than 15 types of cancer".

These people are about as smart as you are.
