Another week, another large epidemiological trial taken wholly out of context by the media
My newest on wine, chocolate, and silly headlines FYI @gorskon @MackayIM @pash22 @BethSkw @DrRobertOConnor @AlanLevinovitz @picardonhealth @welovegvhttps://medium.com/@gidmk/wine-and-chocolate-arent-health-foods-224a07d08aee …
I mean, as far as correlating systemic inflammation with individual foods I think it's unlikely you could do a better job, and they confirmed the associations in this study as well. I don't think the accusation of "garbage" is fair at all

A more realistic objection would be that any correlation between individual foods and inflammation is almost certainly miniscule, and that appears to be both what this study and the formative work show

If the context is epidemiological, then I agree you could hardly do a better job.

That seems like a very poor argument. The original research was clinical. It seems you are just belittling epidemiology, which isn't particularly logical

I just realised that "garbage in" is a technical term in computer science, and may have sounded more disparaging than I intended without that context. It just means that the quality of a result is directly impacted by the quality of the inputs, and I think that's relevant here.
