    Right, I got a little carried away with the ‘pure’ angle,

    Fair enough the moment takes us all sometimes.

    but I do recall seeing many abstracts / summaries of studies for quite a few years that found that diets heavy on meat indeed seem to correlate to increased cancer & CVD incidents.

    Not quite - these are FFQs applied to the general populations so protein is really around 15%. There is considerable debate in the literature if these findings are clinically meaningful.

      Not just the moment, but the motivation to get the core of a point across to a casual audience with a brevity of verbiage.

      What is your relevant background in such matters, if I may ask?
