Well, there's not much I can say if you don't trust science. I kind of understand your point of view though, because regarding food, the results do indeed feel like they're constantly changing. Often, it sounds like correct results are misinterpreted, but I don't really know. Anyway, science is all we've got.
Also, your post reminds me I forgot my original point in my last post. Harmful and lethal are two different things. For all I know, red meat could be completely harmless to most people, but it could cause even lethal diseases in some people, lowering life expectancy and being harmful and lethal to some. As far as I can see, it's perfectly plausible that red meat is harmful, at least in excess. Observing the effects of some things can be very difficult and slow though, so it might seem like they don't have any effect. Food is often one such thing.
EDIT: Offtopic, but it's noticeably easier to read your text if you put a space before the word after a period. That's also how English is supposed to be written, and that's also how most people write it. Just a friendly tip!

Oh, my whole point in about the science always changing about stuff like this, is just a point to show that, outside of taking things to extreme or close to it, having a healthy diet depends alot on your own body. Due to the metabolism of one person, he or she may react better to meat than other, thus being more helthy for that person to eat more meat. And of course the oposite would be also true. What I simply dont agree with is the statement that meat is unhealthy, even if you dont eat much of it. It varies from person to person sure, but the meat is as healthy as it gets(you can get most nutrients you need out of it, and also has unique nutrients that you can only get from it).
The whole point is moderation. Only eating meat can be potentially bad, but not eating any of it is also potentially bad(vegans and vegetariants needs to take supplements to conpensate, if they are taking their diet seriously).I think it should go without saying, anything in excess can be harmful, even water is.
