Correlation isn’t causation. But that’s still interesting.

    The data for the participants relies on mailed questionnaires for lifestyle and medical status

    Wtf. We already know this isn’t good nutrition science. It’s all to easy for people to misrepresent what they’re eating in sirveys

    This sounds like an epidemiological study. What are the listed Relative Risk Increases for mortality they’re trying to claim? Are any about 100%, which is the minimum threshold required to establish causality for epidemiological studies?

    Not only that, the only sources of refined sugars they show here are all listed as healthier than red meat. Really? Refined sugar, the leading cause of diabetes and atherosclerosis isn’t at the bottom of the list?

    This study reeks of bullshit. Which is unfortunately not all that weird in nutrition science ever since the Harvard School of Nutrition got bought out by Coca Cola and sugar lobbies back in the 50’s
