From an interview with the author of this study:

""" ... Nathalie Burkert: No, no, that's not true. Based on our results, we conclude not that much meat is healthy. There was a press release with which we disagree. Since the results of the study are simply misrepresented. """

But then you leave out this following quote: "Burkert: What you see in our results, is that a diet is associated with moderate consumption of meat and high in fruits and vegetables with good health. These are the results in terms of the statistics on subjective health, quality of life and physician visits. The frequency of various diseases speaks for the mixed diet nutrition."

(I had to use Google Translate on this, so I can't be completely confident the English version matches to original German).

Now that is as straight from the horse's mouth as it gets!

Another science casualty on the altar of misinformed press.
