We now know with controls, which is what I'm talking about, where they actually go in and control all these other factors, not only is red meat not bad for you, it's also positively correlated with health, with good health, good cognition, etc. I'm talking about whole natural red meat, not just not. you know, processed meat, which they often don't also control for.
