If this were real science, it wouldn't matter because anyone could repro the results.

But almost all of this nutritional "science" is just people in white coats messing with statistics and sounding authoritative. Goes for the "meat is good" camp and the "meat is bad" camp.

(My personal belief is that only a very small amount of meat is good for your body, but having more meat is good for your brain.)

As the paper described, all they did was pull available data from other studies. That's about as low a barrier to repro as you could wish - you could probably do it yourself.
