Is red meat really considered carcinogenic?

I looked it up here: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/general-info/kno...

- consumption of processed meat is Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans

- consumption of red meat is Group 2A: Probably carcinogenic to humans

I hadn't seen this before, but it turns out the WHO has a FAQ on it.

Depends on your definition of red meat - grass-fed or grain-fed? Two completely different animals. Literally.

I... don't think you know what 'literally' means?

He actually has a point, though it was poorly made. The Omega 3: Omega 6 ratio of grass fed & grain fed beef are vastly different. If you subscribe to any of the ancestral diet theories, the difference in ratios is enough to make grass fed very good, and grain fed very bad.

Do you know if the Omega 3:6 ratio have any effect on the carcinogenic properties of read meat?

I'll give you an example. You took my comment too literally and completely missed the point.

there are a LOT of vegan proselytizers on HN who will slip a casual off-hand remark like that into a large seemingly un-related comment.

they pop up in every nutrition thread like clockwork, especially those that involve low carb discussion. but looks like vitamin supplementation is not a topic they shy away from either.

Apart from the cited sources above I guess.
