Eat More Meat. What?

Not good science? Bad science? Bad advice? Now published is one of these. On what? Red meat. A report has just been released that all that hype about eating less red meat and pork was bad advice. Said the report, the evidence is just too weak. So goes the latest on one of the largest studies of meat consumption. Big science says this will result in distrust of science, a loss of authority, and harm the credibility of nutrition science. So, we have a new study that contravenes established authority. Didn't Pasteur face the same problem with his theory of immunology? Flying in the face of authority, he won that one. See,  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/30/health/red-meat-heart-cancer.html The moral here, as has been the case in physics, chemistry, biology, earthquakes, tectonics, and others, there is just no such thing as settled science.
