The person who wrote this does not understand statistics. He says " Red
meat consumption slightly increases breast cancer risk, but the
relation is not statistically significant..."
NO! NO! NO! If the test shows no significance, then it does NOT allow
him to say red meat slightly increases breast cancer risk. The test
showed NO risk. My statistics prof in grad school would have strangled
this guy. He spent the whole semester harping on this one point.
