The usual suspects again try to demnize red meat. This time the claim is not that it causes cancer (wrong), but that it causes diabetes. The bringer of the terrible news is, as so often, once again Harvard, a frontfighter in the battle for a mandatory global vegan diet. I realyl wonder what their backgorund financing looks like and who pays them most donations. I have a clear suspicion...

Well (followed by a long, loiud sigh...). I wnated to stop reaidng already when they said Nurses Health Study, I know that study, and it has many, many methodiligcla issue, it gets quoted time and again because it boast with big numbers of particating people, but thats not all that makes a good study.

What they essentially do is reframing past data, and distorting it a little so that it matches contemporary agendas.

Oh, and if you have not alreasdy guessed it, a diet basing on plenty of red meat does for most of us (except maybe the I assume genetical exception that Prof. Bikman mentioned) does not push us into diabetes, but prevents diabetes or is a way out of diabetes.

The danger in these shady scientific pseudo works is that politicians pick them up, take them as serious science and enforce veganism on people on grounds of this propandistically mutilated sort of "science".

Science is dead, I more and more often think these days. And the WHO currently tries to formally bury science once and for all.
