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

I'm sure I will. Unlike you, whose journey is clearly asymptotic at best.

Oh man, next you'll start making bad maths puns and then we'll both die of boredom It's been...well, not fun. More like having an argument with a particularly ignorant dictionary Have a good day!
