Did Nina actually read the paper this time? If so, good job Nina. This is my only comment. I try to be positive.https://twitter.com/Abhishek_Rai/status/1039723925230575617 …

Well, it took me until the second sentence to find a factually untrue statement, so I guess my positivity would be that there is at least a single sentence that appears to be true in the articlepic.twitter.com/dRnkiphACb

Also, I'd question whether Nina has indeed read the study, or whether she has simply collated angry tweets about it, considering this factually untrue statement at the startpic.twitter.com/KK7oY14oIX

I'm not sure what's going on in this sentence. Is Nina making an argument against the study and its apparent claim(s) or is she making an argument against the media's perception of that study here?

As far as I can tell, she's linked the two and is arguing that this is what the study literally said

Also...if this is the ARIC study (I can't see because the article is behind a paywall) I'm pretty sure the authors put it into context in the conclusion explaining how those who were eating lower carbs were also missing out vitamins, phytochemicals etc.

Oh indeed she is referencing the ARIC study and essentially making nonsense criticisms, many of which are addressed in the "limitations" section of the study itself

You can make a lot of the same constant argument against nutri epi studies (model selection, # of covariates, FFQ problems, etc) but at the end of the day, most of these papers actually have very balanced conclusions, with lots of nuances.

Even if the measurements are noisy, the caricatures that people paint of these studies (media, diet gurus) barely reflect what the papers actually argue and then everyone is confused

Absolutely. I rarely see a nut epi study that can't support it's conclusions very well. I think it's just much easier to attack the nonsense painted by people who don't really understand the study anyway
