Whenever you talk about red meats causing the conditions you mentioned, I think it's important to note that processed and unprocessed red meats carry different levels of risk to health.

I am saying there are more factors that go into red meat besides the meat itself, such as the methods they are preserved and cooked. The problems you are talking about apply mostly to processed red meats specifically. For instance, processed meats have greater risks for cancers and CHD.

On the other hand, unprocessed red meats do not have the same risk.

"There was no association with Ischemic stroke incidence, nor CHD Mortality with consumption of unprocessed red meat...As for the results of the meta-analysis of the association between consumption of processed meat and CVD, they indicated that there was a significant association with total stroke incidence." Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35491892/

"We found weak evidence of association between unprocessed red meat consumption and colorectal cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease. Moreover, we found no evidence of an association between unprocessed red meat and ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke." Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01968-z

"In meta-analyses of prospective cohorts, higher risk of CHD is seen with processed meat consumption (RR per 50 g: 1.42, 95 %CI = 1.07–1.89), but a smaller increase or no risk is seen with unprocessed meat consumption. Differences in sodium content (~400 % higher in processed meat) appear to account for about two-thirds of this risk difference." Source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3483430/

I am also wondering about the vitamin K2 that is in fatty meats, as it important for heart health. There has to be more factors that are going into health problems like clogged arteries or erectile dysfunction besides the simple fact men consumed red meat, processed or unprocessed.
