If I recall correctly you were looking for references supporting the claim that "any meat consumption is beneficial or healthy". I provided you with so. I didn't realize the goalposts moved in the meantime to "appealing reasons to take up meat-eating".
> One of his oldest videos (published 7 years ago) reaches the same conclusion as your Harvard article
I haven't seen that particular video, so it seems there are good bits on that website. My point on not taking everything for granted still stands.
> He is quite outspoken about corporate influence and lobbying, if you care to explore more of his ad-free web site.
I did and I found his thoughts about corporate patents [1] interesting. And I wouldn't call it "ad-free" when it tries to sell me books and DVDs.
> Finally, your cited study on gluten-free, casein-free diets is several years newer than his video, which I believe is an unfair comparison.
And I believe it is a fair one, for two reasons. First, while this particular video might be several years older than the study I cited, Mr Greger publishes new videos every week. He can publish a new one about recent studies. In fact, that's one of the mission of his non-profit. To provide "free updates on the latest in nutrition research via bite-sized videos". Second, this excuse might be ok if it was a paper book, but we're talking about a website which can be easily modified. Also, YouTube videos offer annotation feature for situations just like those.
If anything, it's unfair to those who are unaware of the latest research - which is the target audience of that website.
