I think it's interesting (and a bit irritating) how mainstream medical advice prioritizes some organs over others when both are important for health. Sunlight on bare skin raises your skin cancer risk, but lowers your blood pressure and supplies you with vitamin D, and we're advised to prioritize the skin over the heart and bones. Red meat can help lots of parts of the body, but might harm the colon, and we're advised to prioritize speculative harm to the colon over absolutely real benefits elsewhere in the body.
