I found this article interesting. Usually these health articles are kind of vague and scary, but this one tries to spell out the specific amount of red meat, etc. that was used in the study and explains exactly what the results were in more detail than usual. Plus it involved 500,000 people, so it was a very expansive study group. The group was 50-70 year olds, but I think it's relevant for anyone.
Looks like eating about 3.5 ounces of red meat per week will keep risk the lowest. Possibly harder is less the conclusion I draw to eat less than 1 ounce of processed meat per week (anything cured, dried or smoked).
Quote from the article: 'You don't have to be a vegan. You don't have to be a vegetarian.' But you really need to cut out the sausage and the pepperoni and the baloney, all those processed meats, or have them very little. You also need to be careful and cut down your red meat intake. Have it [only] a couple times a week."
