      Read it. The high-carb diet was the healthy control. The whole point of that post was that carbs aren't the problem. 🙄 😂😂😂 But do keep making a spectacle of yourself. It's getting quite entertaining at this point. 😂

      Oh, and you STILL haven't addressed the starvation-level diets in the latest study. I get it, if you do you'll be shown as a fool for not understanding the poor epidemiology. LOL 😂😂😂

      You didn't, actually. You said you didn't like the conclusion, which is somewhat different from admitting the data is trash.

      The study participants had low, but within normal (16-1700cal/day) calorie consumption There are many plausible reasons why people enrolled in a study of atherosclerosis might self-report low levels of calorie intake (I.e. diets) Your argument is bad and you should feel bad

      1600 isn't plausible. That's the calorie intake in Keys' Starvation Experiment. "...six months of semi-starvation at 1,570 calories a day..." http://www.apa.org/monitor/2013/10/hunger.aspx … They included reported calorie intake down to 500 for women, which is a joke.pic.twitter.com/XJsKdrSQ61

      Not really. People who are dieting often report low calorie intake

      For 25 years? Really? The initial data was assumed to be constant. Please eat 600 calories a day for 25 years and let us know how that works. 😂😂😂

      1600-1700 calories (let alone 500!) is a starvation diet. It's not plausible that it would continue for 25 years. Their basic data and assumptions are laughable, but you accept them. https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1030969540488847360?s=19 …

      Yep. Never said it would continue for 25 years. That's not even an assumption made in the study, per se

          Of course it is. They only did two FFQs, per the study design. Look, if you're going to argue this stuff, at least familiarize yourself with what you are arguing for.https://twitter.com/TuckerGoodrich/status/1030281645444747264?s=19 …

          I know. So how, specifically, do you think the total calorie intake biased the results?
