I'm almost sure this is wrong. THey probaly mean if you eat red meat or processed meat 5 times a week or more. That's a very weak effect for red meat if it's true, the abstract of the paper was very confusing. A previous study linking red meat to diabetes in men by this Willett-related group found no significant association, but a mild one for processed meat.
