Like… I don’t know what’s the point. Eat heathy, and live a long life? Jesus christ, who has the energy for that?
Just eat whatever. Drink Sodas. Die. Who cares. There’s probably gonna be a global recession, or global great depression. Everyone around me is toxic. People in my country is toxic. The government is toxic. Why even live that long? Maybe my next incarnation will be better.
I have nothing but respect for them, but they are journalists and not conducting science themselves.
But yes, I will say epidemiology should only be considered hypothesis generating, not demonstrating causation. The best way to tell if a epidemiology paper is clinically useful is if they express their results in absolute risk (they almost never do)
However, this is a field of science, the philosophy and influencers don’t matter, all that matters is health outcomes. If people are getting the outcomes they want then I’m happy for them.
There is research that also points to meat being beneficial - so I absolutely don’t think its reasonable to close the book on nutrition as solved, and meat is the enemy.
Ahh, I see you are now downvoting my comments! OK, Message received
Here is my own youtube video on nutritional epidemiology! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWgH-VaqMjQ - 7 Flaws in Nutrition Epidemiology
Called it. Get your pseudoscience crackpot cheesehands diet nonsense out of here.
Why are these published studies pseudoscience?
Anybody can cherry pick isolated studies to support any argument they want. I’m not giving you the time of day on this because it never ends. That’s the point. It’s the same playbook as the tobacco industry, same as the oil companies. Corporate-backed pseudoscience that appears just about legitimate-enough to create distractions and confusions.
You already admitted to being anti-epidemiology and “respecting” people like Taubes, as well as name-dropping the carnivore diet. That’s all I need to know, to know that you’re full of nonsense.
I read papers, I would like to know the criteria for pseudoscience so I can identify it in a paper.
So far it appears if a paper does fit your preconceived bias it’s pseudoscience
It is possible for two different people to read the literature and come to different conclusions, that’s normal in science, the next step is to apply the theory and see if you get the result you predict.
