      This is a pretty funny one: - randomized controlled trial - no benefit for coffee in any of the 4 primary outcomes - no benefit for coffee in 25/27 of the secondary outcomes - no benefit for weight loss - somehow concludes that coffee aids weight loss - FUNDED BY NESTLEpic.twitter.com/qZ4xcT8pJs

      "The funder had no decisive role in the design, implementation, analysis, and interpretation of the data" Three of the authors were employed by Nestle

          I'd argue that this study demonstrates quite convincingly that coffee is likely worthless for weight loss and diabetes And yet, this is the lead author discussing the results of the research Science reporting is soooo brokenpic.twitter.com/Gw21ewZAVk

          If you ask me, the loss of fat mass in coffee drinkers in this study is likely to be a statistical artifact, given that they ran 31 ANCOVAs and happened upon 2 significant results Remember, there was no weight loss, no fat free mass loss, no other differences at all!
