Bread can be healthy, just make sure it's wholegrain. Read meat is acosiates with bad health outcomes..

But yeah nobody is going to put a wholegrain bun on their hamburger.

Yes, bread can be healthy. The right one in moderation. The same as red meat (per your reference), actually :).

But 80/20 extra-fattened with liver for a delicious burger? Definitely not healthy (but like a candy bar, it's ok to have one every months or two)

But yeah nobody is going to put a wholegrain bun on their hamburger.

Uhh. Why not? Whole Grain comes in all shapes and sizes now. Hell, most higher end restaurants use whole grain buns. Not sure why you would conclude that?

This makes me think you've never had a 100% wholegrain bread

Do you live somewhere in the world where it's hard to get? I rarely eat bread, but when I do buy from the store it's always 100% wholegrain. I just bought some a few weeks ago and there were plenty of different choices on the shelf.

No wholegrain is easy to get. Just nog as burger buns in a restaurant. I wasn't talking about bread in a supermarket

Your "source" is one doctor speaking out against and entire study where the researchers found "low" evidence that either red meat or processed meat is harmful. That's not low health risks, or low percentage of affected individuals, but low evidence that here are any risks at all.

yeah people do its not uncommon here

The doctor in your link says processed meat is likely bad all around, presumably due to additives, but that red meat in lower amounts (specifically, he says "2-3 times a week" and to use red meat as a side, instead of a main) is actually associated with lower health risks.
