Do red and processed meats cause cancer?
In 2015, WHO said yes, but insiders say the process was flawed and biased
This article by Nina Teicholz critically examines the World Health Organization's 2015 decision, via its cancer research arm (IARC), to classify processed meats as carcinogenic and red meat as probably carcinogenic. Teicholz argues that this influential decision, which spurred global headlines and policy changes, was based on weak epidemiological evidence rather than strong, causal data. The IARC relied mainly on observational studies with minuscule relative risk increases (1.17 and 1.18), ignoring randomized controlled trials that showed no link between meat consumption and cancer. Experts who dissented or proposed alternate interpretations were reportedly sidelined during the decision-making process.
