> Thank you. 17% cancer risk per 100g daily red meat is an alarming correlation.

It is an increase of 17%, not 17% cancer risk.

1.51% cumulative risk of colon cancer among men age 0–74 years, and a 1.12% risk among women. [0]

If you eat 100g red meat daily you increase that risk to ~1.7667% for men and ~1.3104% for women.
