So, study is here. It's a cross-sectional epidemiological trial using NHANES data to look at associations between milk fat and telomere length:https://new.hindawi.com/journals/omcl/2019/1574021/ …

Also, the main analysis treated fat % in milk as a linear variable? That's just total nonsense, you can't buy milk (in most places) that has 2.35% fat

For this study to be correct, people would have to be homogenizing their own milk which is...unlikely

Anyway, there are more problems but I think that's enough for now You can't really take much away from this study except that adults in 2000 who drank full fat milk might've had slightly shorter telomerespic.twitter.com/LSREjADsty

TL:DR - drinking skimmed milk can't "add 4.5 years to your life" - the study had nothing to do with age - probably not causal - DRINK WHATEVER MILK YOU WANT

Oh, forgot to mention that if this regression was accurate you'd expect that people who eat cheese, which has a very high percentage of milk fat, would have basically no telomereshttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1217927165884321792?s=20 …

Or even more likely, that the more health conscious you are the more likely you are to drink low fat milk. More health conscious = a whole lot of other associated factors (more exercise, more vegetables in diet etc etc ).

Yes that's a much better example thanks
