      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

      I understood Nick's sentence. "Engineering in exculpation for insulinogenic foods" is exactly what happens if you adjust for diabetes. It would be a bit like adjusting for traumatic brain injury in car accident deaths.

      Not at all. It would be like adjusting for previous traumatic brain injury, an entirely different statistic

      The analogy is imperfect because of the time sequence, but the idea correct: this with a high carb intake and diabetes at baseline are already at risk of death from myriad diseases associated with IR and that risk is likely to be moderated by the carb intake.

      The time-sequence is key. If you didn't adjust for diabetes at baseline, the results would be less meaningful as they would be down to which of the groups had more people with diabetes, given that there was no randomization

          It is like, for example, running your study on car deaths with a group made up largely of people with terminal mesothelioma and then concluding that this group was at the highest risk of death

          It would be like that, if diabetes were not already a sign of metabolic syndrome that had a plausible causal pathway from excess carbohydrates. It's more like looking at ACM from smoking but adjusting for COPD.
