You&#x27;re getting those anyway, whether you eat meat or not.<p>Can you identify one or more of the saturated fats found in meat that produce adverse health effects?  Better yet, can you identify the reactions in the biochemical pathway that produce those effects?<p>I am reluctant to accept your apparent claim that &quot;saturated fat is bad for you&quot;, when I am well aware that medium chain saturated fats are sent directly to the liver, whereas long chain saturated fats are assembled into triglycerides if not already in that form, packaged up with cholesterol and protein, and transported through the lymphatic system before reaching the bloodstream.<p>As the original article stated, correlation based on survey responses is a weak, weak, weak way to do research.<p>It may be true that eating meat is relatively unhealthy.  But it also may be the case that the unhealthful effects are produced by the Maillard reaction products from the cooking process, and that changing the preparation method removes the additional health risks [1].  You won&#x27;t know until doing enough real, rigorously scientific studies to more precisely identify the mechanisms in play.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;19118369" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pubmed&#x2F;19118369</a><p>[1] Some raw meat advocates already believe this.
