The first things I do when I see large epi studies of this nature with seemingly ridiculous headlines are: 1. Check to see what confounders are controlled for 2. Compare groups on baseline characteristics 3. Calculate absolute risks
If you add on some of the other issues - for example, the score that this study calculated to determine 'anti-inflammatory food intake' was a bit slim - the media noise becomes that much harder to believe

As with so many other studies, this is an interesting piece of work that may have implications at the population level - although I'm skeptical - but definitely is not very applicable to everyday life Blog to come!

P.S. worth mentioning that the 'quartiles' of intake were super weird: 0-5, 6, 7, 8-13 With such large bottom and top groups, I'd guess that the analysis was problematic although not my area of expertise
