For the record I did not "call you a jealous toad" but that you "acted like a jealous toad" in denying the accurate research results of others. A subtle but important distinction. 
Also re: "The C is for controlled"...so what? You can have highly controlled trials that address pragmatic concerns, and totally uncontrolled trials that have little to do with the real world Pragmatism and control are not two ends of a spectrum

Gid, I’m asking you why you are against Virta. I’ve not made a string of statements against it. Nor for it (unprovoked). There’s just no scientific basis for your critique - I’m asking for your clarification (albeit clumsily) why you are against Virta?

Huh? What do you mean no scientific basis - they ran a fairly poorly-controlled trial with numerous flaws. As a pilot study, it'd be fine, but they are treating it as if it were a perfect RCT which is problematic

Ok here’s the thing - my research question for PhD asked “are dietitians effective [in NCDs]. RCTs indicate yes, as effective as [some] drug treatments in diabetes...but the question really is “are dietitians effective in [real life] current food environments” ....

...to which the answer is likely “no”. The work starts when the person leaves the consultation. Real life, real time. So the “controlled” isn’t “so what” if we are seeking to translate that research to practice [and expecting similar published outcomes].
