In Australia (where much of the meat is grass-fed and without hormones by the way) no red meat was associated with instance of colon cancer, the supposed big way red meat gets you. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21364608 But interestingly enough, if the meat was baked it was strongly protective. The people who ate the most baked meat had the least risk.

And I’m not saying that it’s necessarily that the meat was protective, as we thinking people know there are a lot of confounding factors that are poorly controlled for, but the media never picks up on these kinds of studies, demonstrating their bias. Controlled trials fail to show any sort of harmful effects from red meat in the context of a healthy diet if everything is controlled for and those who don’t eat it generally have lower levels of beneficial molecules in their bodies like carnosine, carnitine, CLA, creatine, and all manners of things that start with the letter C.

But again I have never seen the media even touch on any of these issues. It’s amazing. Thank God that people are starting to become smart about this sort of thing and reading guys like Mark Sisson. Many of the comments on these sorts of posts are asking the right questions, when it wasn’t always like that.

By the way thanks you your super nutritious beef I’m at the top of my game.

Cheers.

It was a huge steak. I was starving as I hadn’t eaten supper yet an when I finally sat down at 10pm, I didn’t take too long to devour it.
