On flawed @TheLancet study alleging low-carb shortens life: 1. low-carb group was (hopelessly) confounded by higher rates of smoking, diabetes, obesity 2. study contradicted by 70+ trials--far more rigorous data--all of which show improved health on low carb 1/2

There's basic adjustment for confounding variables, and there's statistical voodoo atop the GIGO dumpster fire this study's "dataset" represents. There's no distilling an inherent, platonic truth-signal from pure entropy.

What utter nonsense. They were Cos proportional hazard models with cubic splines, that is fairly standard in such epidemiological research
