I think I read meat's more of a carcinogen problem if it's raw or not well cooked, but don't take my word for it.
 
He said Red meat is a type 2 carcinogen.

Technically Type 2A and even then, it is based on limited evidence that is more coincidental than causal...

Q. Red meat was classified as Group 2A, probably carcinogenic to humans. What does this mean exactly?
A. In the case of red meat, the classification is based on limited evidence from epidemiological studies showing positive associations between eating red meat and developing colorectal cancer as well as strong mechanistic evidence. Limited evidence means that a positive association has been observed between exposure to the agent and cancer but that other explanations for the observations (technically termed chance, bias, or confounding) could not be ruled out.

From here...

 
This recent article is worth a read. I was likely wrong, it's overcooked that's the problem mentioned here;

This part may say enough for this thread;

But unprocessed red meat (like a steak or ground beef) doesn’t have as direct an impact on gut damage as does processed red meat (like bacon or hot dogs). The chemicals in these products can lead to NOCs being formed at a faster rate than from the meat itself.
 
It's when you have your steak well-done. It's all that burnt carbon on the meat!!
I might have rather seen something like this;

Raw meat may contain harmful bacteria including Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter and E. coli that can cause food poisoning. These bacteria are destroyed when meat is correctly cooked.

Can't win :-/

Same info in my article.
The WHO seem very supportive of this woke Leftist anti-meat movement.
