Great points, they've misled us for so long about--

>Just eat a balanced diet, don't overeat, and don't eat too much processed food and red meat, and you'll probably be fine.

Wait, what? Why is the evidence against red meat so much stronger than that against cholesterol or fat?

Edit: or processed food for that matter, although I grant that a higher prior as being bad because of how far it is from what we would have eaten in our ancestral environment (depending, of course, on what you count as processing).
