So water was best, but diet soft drinks were MUCH better than sugary ones Not exactly what the headlines imply so far
But then another wrinkle - this was an observational (cross-sectional) study What this means is that the researchers took one time-point, asked the kids questions, and based all of their results on that
The problem is that there is no way to determine causality from a study like this Maybe Diet Coke causes kids to eat more Maybe kids who eat more tend to drink more Diet Coke Maybe kids who are poor tend to both eat more AND drink more Diet Cokepic.twitter.com/ho4S1ourNZ
And at least one of these things is true, because kids who drank more artificial sweeteners in this study were poorer on average than kids who only drank water
Also, in studies like this, you usually control for dozens of factors There are literally hundreds of things that can influence complex associations like beverage drinking and obesity In this study? They controlled for 5
As I've said before; we can control for the things we know about, but we can't control for things we don't know or don't measure In this study, that included MOST THINGSpic.twitter.com/UVfTKLpTIX
Oh! So we know about the fake MMR studies, but can you provide a link to another vaccine that has been studied for an association to increased risk of autism?
Lol. If you want a specific technical answer, there has been no observed association between autism and any vaccine in any of literally hundreds of studies. A decent summary in this systematic reviewhttps://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/134/2/325 …
