      And I’m simply asking for the evidence - we can keep hypothesizing - I’m saying - if we are going to use ADG, please, just have a look. Really don’t know why as an epi person you are putting up barriers?

      Because your argument for why we should exclude an entire category of research is, as far as I can tell, "it's not rocket science/because we can" That's not great methodology, if so. If I'm wrong, please tell me how

      I invite you to look back through our thread. You are pulling out you’re easy wins there. If you were sitting on an NHMRC panel as an epi to discuss how to robust evidence base for ADG ....would you really say “we don’t need to do sensitivity analysis on GRADE, or corp$”

      I have posed reasonable research questions specific to understanding how we can do better. This is not a methodological conversation, this is a “how can we lift Aus out of this FRCD trajectory”. Corp$ are recognized to influence the narrative. We have a data set to look at this

      In what possible way is this not methodological? You're making a specific methodological argument - that we should exclude all industry funded trials from analyses

      Ive posed a research question. Next step is to choose a methodology to best answer the question. Methodology second. You are opposing the question.

      What?? Your argument is that the current methodology is wrong. Rephrasing that doesn't change anything...

      Replying to @GidMK @foodnuthealth

      Maybe check back through - I’ve asked we use the methodology (sub-standard as I think it is) bc we have this data set there to run a series of sensitivity analyses. One of which is “if we took our all industry funded research what does that look like”

      Right. But there's no justification - that I can see - for such a project, aside from "industry is bad, duh". So it seems to me that, if the methodology used was evidence-based, the analysis you're proposing would not add to the evidence base

      Was the methodology evidence-based, in your expert opinion as an epidemiologist?

      Definitely. The NHMRC has done a lot of work to provide good recommendations on reviews such as these, and I think the academics were eminently qualified.

          I don't think their qualifications are the issue. NHMRC guidelines and levels of evidence may be part of the problem. Same ppl involved in ADG may be an issue. Not re-examining 'evidence' on some nutrients also an issue. And let's not ignore the elephant: rates of FRCD.

          Agree with all these points.
