Recorded sources
7 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that eating red meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer?

Yes. Multiple sources, including a European prospective study, a review of ten meta-analyses, and a case-control study, report that higher red meat intake is associated with increased colorectal cancer risk; one 1997 review notes prospective cohort results were inconsistent and concludes causation cannot be stated.
