Is red meat bad for health? Meta-study of 44 studies finds results depend on the sponsor. If the sponsor is impartial, studies find it's bad. Studies sponsored by the meat industry find the opposite (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

Every study conflates high sugar consumption with meat consumption. If a pizza is considered a serving of meat, in all fairness it should also be considered a serving of plant based foods. Carbohydrates make up the bulk of pizza. And those come exclusively from plants

We know sugar is bad for health. These observational studies are useless unless they can control for sugar and carbohydrate intake as a factor.
