A new study has produced strong evidence that red meat consumption is a trigger for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), demonstrating how it alters gut bacteria and immune activity in ways that worsen inflammation. It furthers scientific knowledge of the many pathways involved in inflammation, taking…
Well… I guess we’re just not going to bother taking into account that red meat isn’t part of a mouse’s diet? And that maybe they’re going to react poorly when force fed things they generally don’t eat? This type of bullshit science needs to be called out for what it is.
Next, maybe we should see how well whales react if we feed them 3,000lbs of french fries.
At the same time, a lot of places aren’t going to let scientists test on something closer to humans without something clearly showing a reason for it. The ethics board would wonder why they didn’t try it on mice first, and wouldn’t approve anything else.
That they found an effect in mice would be good justification to move up a step. If there was no effect, then that would be the end of that.
In the animal study, mice were fed three types of red meat – pork, beef and mutton – every day for two weeks.
Not sure where you the from, by where I’m at- mice can’t take down a pig, cow, or sheep. Even if they worked together with the other hunter/gatherer mice in their tribe and really thought hard about how badly they wanted it.

I assume you went through the actual published article and have the necessary expertise to come to this “bullshit” conclusion.
I don’t really know enough about mouse (and human) gut biome to know what the similarities and caveats are.
A quick google search will tell you what the primary diet of mice is: nuts and berries, small vertebrates and carrion.
Not USDA grade prime rib.
Not what the research is about though, but good doing your own research
Dude… it’s right in the article:

Those animals are pretty defenseless after they die and no one is immune to that.
Again, not part of their diet.
Garlic, onions, citrus and beans fuck up and can even possibly kill mice, so it’s not a straight comparison by any stretch
