I did the research on this topic, years ago.

At least once a year, this bullshit gets recycled and regurgitated by the mass media.
Every single instance of "red meat" or "processed meat" "studies" that get associated with cancer, is ALWAYS based on compiling questionnaire surveys statistics and drawing correlations with cancer statistics.
i.e. there is NO SCIENCE involved. They are not locking up a control group and feeding them processed meats for a determined period of time while feeding another control group a vegan diet, than comparing who gets cancer and who does not after a predetermined period of time.
There is NO SCIENTIFIC METHOD involved in these "studies."
Remember the first rule of statistics: correlation does not equal causation.
No...the lying liars behind producing this sort of propaganda, are touting studies based on asking people in surveys typical questions like this:
"In the last 6 months, how many times a week did you eat cheeseburgers:
a) At least 5 times a week
b) At least 3 times a week
c) Once a week
d) Never
In the last 6 months, how many times a week did you eat pizza:
a) At least 5 times a week
b) At least 3 times a week
c) Once a week
d) Never"
From compiling the results of these survey questions, they then publicize "RECENT STUDIES SHOW THAT RED MEAT/SATURATED FAT/PROCESSED MEAT {insert predetermined boogyman} HAS BEEN LINKED TO CANCER"
It's all bullshit.
Enjoy your bacon for breakfast.
Remember too, that ALL meat is "processed." Your real focus should be on additives and fillers.
The grass fed beef sausages naturally cured with salt is a far cry from cheap ass hotdogs full of corn syrup, dextrose, artificial colors, cellulose fiber, maltodextrin, monosodium glutamate and other goodies....
....yet both are considered "processed meat."
Read your ingredients, not mass media propaganda.
