Attempts to dissect whether some animal proteins are more hazardous than others run into statistical absurdity (like fish and milk being significant only for women but not men), or being contradictory to conventional be…liefs or other observational studies (like fish and poultry are worse than red meat, or that diary is bad).

I also wouldn’t sweat it because, even if the associations were true (and it’s a super-duper “if”), the clinical significance is miniscule.
