Lol nope, that's total nonsense. It is statistical manipulation, not magic

Anyway, your discounting of those who have revealed the problems with the substance and PR-idiocy of this latest debasement of science as "pure tribalism" reveals your tawdry cards too clearly.

Uh, she made several factually incorrect statements that you are defending with total gibberish, it is hardly to your credit that all you can do is babble insults at me rather than try to understand the basics of statistical adjustment for confounding variables

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

Here is the study, I'd recommend the "methods" section it's very enlightening https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(18)30135-X/fulltext#seccestitle80 …

It's crucial not to adjust for mediators or their proxies, as explained by
@yudapearl below. If carbohydrates cause CVD via a mediator, e.g. excess insulin production, then diabetes, and arguably energy intake, are proxies, so adjusting for them renders the analysis impotent. 1/pic.twitter.com/B4A0ketuF4

In so doing, they effectively engineer in some exculpation for insulinogenic foods, and some concomitant demonisation of their counterparts. Finger on the scale, so to speak. Not surprising.

What total and utter nonsense. I'm sorry, but that is a deepity - using innumerable syllables to say nothing at all

Look, you're an epidemiologist. Like an economist, you like to pretend your craft is science, and get prickly at every revelation to the contrary. I get it.

Insulting me is similarly not an argument against the study, but please feel free I don't mind Insults are the last refuge of the chronically incorrect

It's not an insult. It's an explanation. I'm sure you're a very good epidemiologist.

Lol. Being patronizing is, similarly, not an argument, but you keep on trying I'm sure you'll get there eventually
