Yes, it's the same old story. Stop doing this, its bad for you/us/the planet. They try to intimidate you into lowering, bit-by-bit, your lifestyle. Then the wheels come off the wagon later when the truth comes out.
Eat all you like. My cuz, my exact age, died last year from Colon cancer. It was pretty quick, so there is that. He ate a LOT of meat. I'm a veggie.
Nothing wrong with most meat in moderation....even red meat. Of course, this study being quoted is one tiny study that didn't take into account the MANY studies which say otherwise......
Even from an energy standpoint alone, red meat is vastly more polluting which means, in total, we are all being exposed to more pollutants and dirtier water, air and land.
Everything in moderation. A 4oz. portion of red meat as part of a varied diet is not gonna be a problem.
concludes, "Inconsistencies regarding the effects of red meat on cardiovascular disease risk factors are attributable, in part, to the composition of the comparison diet. Substituting red meat with high-quality plant protein sources, but not with fish or low-quality carbohydrates, leads to more favorable changes in blood lipids and lipoproteins."
I.e. eat your salad, gentlemen, if you want to live.
1. Excessive grains (especially bleached grain with all fiber removed), these metabolize into sugar
2. Excessive dairy (humans only recently evolved the ability to process dairy and a significant number of modern people still have problems with it)
3. Fake sugars like high fructose corn syrup (studies show these are even worse than regular sugar)
4. Too much sugar (real of fake) in the diet as a whole
5. A diet not in proportion to physical activity (i.e. if you are going to be a couch potato, you need to control your portions)
6. A diet lacking in micronutrients (i.e. eat your vegetables)
7. A diet too heavy in psychoactive drugs (i.e. too much alcohol, caffeine, etc)
Remember the egg thing. Eggs were bad for your heart. Then studies showed that actually they were not.
It is just anecdotal, but I have eaten eggs 4-5 times a week for 50 years. And my cholesterol is fine. I also eat red meat almost every day. My doctor tells me that at 71, I am healthier than most of his 50 year old patients. It is not heredity either. My parents and grandparents all died in their 50s.

Eggs were just a misunderstanding of cholesterol.
Excessive blood cholesterol is bad for your heart.
However, the mistake was thinking intake of dietary cholesterol will necessarily raise blood cholesterol, that is not the case.
