You'd think when doing a study like this, it would be worth differentiating between cuts of meat and heavily processed meat, but apparently not.

I agree with supafil. If it does not distinguish between high quality grass-fed beef and processed meats it tells you nothing. Is a higher consumption of meat correlated with a lower consumption of fresh fruit and veg? I'll carry on as I am, thanks, with locally-sourced meat, but in small quantities.

Have yo agree with Rufus. This being an American study the US does not have the same standards as ourselves in the uk 🇬🇧. A balanced diet of protein and vegetables is good enough for me. Especially Aberdeenshire grass fed beef 🥩

The article suggests a person may increase their risk of developing coronary artery disease if a certain amount of red meat is eaten.

The article states more research is needed.

To give your post context, do you live with a heart condition?

Some of us live with heart conditions not caused by our diets or lifestyles choices.

Saturated fat = atherosclerosis, no brainer isn’t it.

Heart disease is multifactorial.

Here's a nice infographic about the risks for women developing heart disease.

Diet is just one of many possible risk factors.
