As someone who loves red meat, I find 25% extremely significant on a personal level.

  The lifetime risk of developing colon or rectal cancer is about 4.5%. Assuming research cited above is correct (a big assumption, considering the history of medical research) and red meat consumption increases that 25%, your risk is now about 5.5%. Edit: I misread; the claim is in the other direction, that cutting red meat reduces your risk. So 4.5% becomes 3.4%
