I've already tried to get Gid to go carnivore, but maybe he hasn't read your site.

My site is a bit of a mess. When I get back from Low Carb Houston ("Plant-Based or Carnivore: What's the best for mTOR"), I'm going to work on the book and better organisation of all my previous work.

Not that I'm invested in Gid's diet! I just want to organise my ideas so they're easier to follow. I like talking to Gid precisely because he doesn't just believe everything I say. I want help thinking more than I want high fives.

Haha yeah I like following him too. And he isn't explicitly anti-low-carb like us.

Epidemiology is hard to understand.

Agreed. After a masters, part of a PhD, and years in the field I can honestly say I'm still scratching the surface. It's a very complex field

Gid. Question. Why can't epidemiologists gather people who identify to a diet lifestyle and have done it "religiously" in some sort of fashion for a number of years and then compare those people? Is it too spread out to find those people and test them? Maybe even 80 y/os 'Atkins'

The challenge, especially in the internet age, is rarely identifying people. I'm sure you could find a group of low-carb individuals who've been doing it for a while. The challenge is getting a comparable control group to this very self-selected cohort

Also, the method of cohort selection can bias a study enormously. You'll be picking only those for whom the diet has worked perfectly, which means that you miss out on the (potentially much larger) cohort for whom it either worked modestly or not at all

So if you select your intervention group from, say, an online forum, immediately your result is almost certainly going to overestimate the benefit of the diet. Then, there's a good chance your comparison group will also introduce further bias
