Eh? The figures given are clear (and yes, I've read the article by now) - the risk associated with processed meat is much greater than that with red meat.
I believe the following assumption was the one simonh disagreed could be made:
"I certainly assumed they were claiming the same/similar risk for both red and processed meat"
I agree. Headlines should be suggestive of content, but cannot contain all the nuances.
Ah, sorry, I see what you mean now. It was the part where you said "unwarranted" that confused me, as the thing I said was warranted by the headline, the very thing I said was the basis for the assumption.
