Red Meat

In the section "Red Meat" under "human health" there is a reference to a 2010 study with an assertion of the harmlessness of the consumption of unprocessed red meats and its link to cardiovascular disease (CVD). There is a subsequent 2012 Harvard study which took an in-depth look at the eating habits of more than 100,000 Americans for a continuous period between 1986 and 2006 specifically studying the consumption of red meat (processed and unprocessed), and the resulting mortality from red meat related diseases. The findings of the study indicate no statistical significance in the difference between processed and unprocessed red meat as related to CVD mortality. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3712342/ The question was addressed earlier about a lack of consensus of which I agree, the reports are still widely disputed as to health benefits and risks of the consumption of red meat, however I believe that section is a little lopsided and the existence of the subsequent study indicating little difference in the risk factor relating to CVD ought to be addressed on the page.

I also find no links to other pages, or any mention of methane production that results as a byproduct of the raising of animals for harvesting red meat, which itself can definitely be translated as a human health concern in its wider effects on the environment.
