Do animal products cause cancer or other health issues
Most vegans say that meat / dairy or animal products in general are unhealthy right? Usually you ask them for evidence and they never provide anything other than "watch this movie" or this "Dr in psychology said so", Or this Doctor who didn't finish his PHD said this".
Ask them to provide clinical science to prove their claims. Watch them tap dance around, watch them post a survey or post something that they didn't read which proves them wrong, and then watch them block you or go to your personal Facebook page and spam nonsense.
So first of all how they fail is they make conclusive statements. In science nothing is ever conclusive. Science gives supporting weight to a hypothesis. Technically nothing is ever proven and can never be proven. And epidemiology is almost useless. The problem with epidemiology is that they are impossible to find a correlation is a causation. Let me give you an example.
Example 100 people died in Las vegan on the 21st of August 2019. 100% of these people who died was reported to have consumed water in the last 24 hours before. This links water to the causality of death 100% of the time in 100% of the people who died on this day in Vegas.
See how that is nonsense?
Okay now let's look at the actual science. If you want a review done my someone else check these 2 links out. Discussing Saturated fat (SF) from animals is another topic again. But the methodologies in science still apply with SA as well. Does it kill you? no. Can it be bad? yes just like water can be bad. CONTEXT. And recent science discussing the actual correlation and causation of SF is in favor of it not being bad like population studies suggest.
Scientists found that red meat causes cancer ... or did they? https://examine.com/nutrition/scientists-just-found-that-red-meat-causes-cancer--or-did-they/?fbclid=IwAR2ClHtlXkP5KLGs7nZITKISyJfU04wTRwdLKV12fLbiamskYCuV5rVTaKY

Here I am going to look at a few studies and look at what they say
Lack of Association between Red Meat Consumption and a Positive Fecal Immunochemical Colorectal Cancer Screening Test in Khon Kaen, Thailand: a Population- Based Randomized Controlled Trial
METHODS: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with 1,167 participants in a population-based randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Despite the evidence from the literature, no association was here found between a positive FIT result and meat consumption or other well-established lifestyle parameters. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29374412/?fbclid=IwAR30IF2ESr9uRBHTxPZzTYKcCONZ0SScvT8ONPW1k1CfOkDLcMw9HMdx1Ts
Milk and dairy products: good or bad for human health? An assessment of the totality of scientific evidence
Objective This review aimed to assess the scientific evidence mainly from meta-analyses of observational studies and randomized controlled trials, on dairy intake and risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, cancer, and all-cause mortality.
Conclusion on all-cause mortality The evidence from observational studies confirms that there is no association between consumption of milk and dairy products and all-cause mortality.
Overall conclusions regarding intake of milk and dairy products and health Our review of the totality of available scientific evidence supports that intake of milk and dairy products contributes to meeting nutrient recommendations and may protect against the most prevalent, chronic non-communicable diseases, whereas very few adverse effects have been reported. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5122229/?fbclid=IwAR3weUmPrMQ1KoSmXMxW1t-6DnrvbbghGMMC3RJ0ivN-ZNZCNAmyw5aKKso
Effects of Full-Fat and Fermented Dairy Products on Cardiometabolic Disease: Food Is More Than the Sum of Its Parts
Conclusions The findings from the aforementioned studies are in line with the consensus reached at an expert workshop in Gentofte, Denmark, in 2016, which included the following statement: “Current evidence does not support a positive association between intake of dairy products and risk of CVD (i.e. stroke and CHD) and T2D.” The workshop also concluded that “different dairy structures and common processing methods may enhance interactions between nutrients in the dairy matrix, which may modify the metabolic effects of dairy consumption” (23).
What becomes increasingly clear is that the recommendation to restrict dietary saturated fat to reduce risk for cardiometabolic disease is getting outdated. The weight of evidence from recent meta-analyses of both observational studies and randomized controlled trials indicates that full-fat dairy products, particularly yogurt and cheese, do not exert the detrimental effects on blood lipid profile and blood pressure as previously predicted on the basis of their sodium and saturated fat contents; they do not increase cardiometabolic disease risk and may in fact protect against CVD and T2D. Therefore, the suggestion to restrict or eliminate full-fat dairy from the diet may not be the optimal strategy for reducing cardiometabolic disease risk and should be re-evaluated in light of recent evidence. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6743821/
Thirty adequate case–control studies have been published up to 1999 (from 16 different countries). Twenty of them found no significant association of (red) meat with colorectal cancer. https://www.nature.com/articles/1601349
Effect of Lower Versus Higher Red Meat Intake on Cardiometabolic and Cancer Outcomes: A Systematic Review of Randomized Trials
Conclusion: Low- to very-low-certainty evidence suggests that diets restricted in red meat may have little or no effect on major cardiometabolic outcomes and cancer mortality and incidence. https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2752326/effect-lower-versus-higher-red-meat-intake-cardiometabolic-cancer-outcomes?fbclid=IwAR08JERqwqLaQAxfe4hCU8EU1fIIut0M0UA_nmWRbf3Zuf0dQuehg5VltLw
