questionaire based studies. Can't trust people with doing the questionaires on regulare basis, and they're filling in what they remember if they forgot a few days. Most people don't remember what they had for a snack after their lunch on a tuesday.
Somebody took apart the WHO meta-study about how red meat causes cancer. It's like 98% of studies #inmice, and they don't eat steak, they eat high carb/high protein diets. And the placeholder for meat is a blood-sausage that you wouldn't eat on a daily basis let alone every meal. None of the mice actually got cancer because they're all killed beforehand to look at the consequences of their diets.
And the few studies that showed relations between cancer and meat in humans were observational as in questionairs.
