They're putting the cart before the horse by classifying what's inflammatory and anti-inflammatory first. If they miscategorised just a couple of things the aggregates will be completely messed up.

They used a validated questionnaire that was treated with regards to inflammation markers in the body so of the criticisms I'm not sure that one's valid

They're using very weak associations "established" in another highly conflated associational study from a FFQ. That's garbage in / error propagation. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/downloadSupplement?doi=10.1111%2Fjoim.12823&file=joim12823-sup-0001-Supinfo.docx …pic.twitter.com/KgurF5UKly

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
