Really makes you sit back and rethink these "medical" reports, huh? There's a slight increase in mortality for the people who reported eating red meat... but they never considered that anything else they were eating might have contributed to their mortality rate! How lame is that? I suppose you could design any observational "study" to "prove" any hypothesis.

What really bugs me is the same day this article came out in the NEJM, there was also an article published which showed no correlation between meat consumption and mortality... but the press never reported on THAT article.

Note to self: Never EVER allow the media to tell me what's healthy (or true). LOL
