I just hate associative claims that delicately prance around the word “causality”.

I’m sure that we could run a casual analysis on this, though my cursory search yielded nothing, probably because the claim that a certain level of red meat consumption causes certain cancers in humans is not really falsifiable (though we have a plausible biological mechanism to explain it).

I know some biostatisticians but only one or two would have the training to conduct such an analysis, and I wouldn’t trust a statistician in theoretical causality to handle it.
