I'd actually expect that to be higher than it is, just given that red meat has been vilified for 50+ years by public health officials.

I'm not sure if there's a name for the reverse of healthy user bias, but I like to think of it as blaming baseball for oral cancer, rather than the chewing tobacco common among players in the sport.

Those numbers are assuming 2 servings per week. How many meat eater limits themselves to that few of servings?

The numbers in the study are something like 2 servings meat, 3 chicken, 1.6 fish weekly.

Haven't looked at the original study, but from the article

>>>In terms of the actual difference eating 2 servings a week would make to an individual's baseline risk of CVD, the researchers calculated:

processed meat: you would increase your risk by 0.4% over 10 years, 1.02% over 20 years and 1.74% over 30 years

red meat: 0.17% over 10 years, 0.41% over 20 years and 0.62% over 30 years

poultry: 0.20% over 10 years, 0.54% over 20 years and 1.03% over 30 years
