      Mmm, an interesting Author Reply by the Coca-Cola sponsored paper that suggests that the rise in obesity might not be related to sugary drinks, but because women sit in front of a screen too much and don't vacuum enough. https://pubpeer.com/publications/F2B6D329A4B0D16909540298E6B4BC#2 …

      I wrote some concerns about the paper inspired by @cecilejanssens' thread here:https://twitter.com/cecilejanssens/status/1217232909914058753 …

      Today, we had our first class of "Critical Thinking: Exploring the Science behind the News". This is why our class matters. We opened with this jaw-dropping example. Without reading further: how did the researchers study this? What is the science behind the news? 1/ (corrected) pic.twitter.com/Ud32VVsBOB

      But the authors reply that "your comments about alleged conflicts of interest and sexism are irrelevant to the rigor and validity of our results and conclusions"

      Mmmm. "comments about alleged conflicts and biases are simply unscientific and irrelevant because they do not critique the methods, results, or conclusions."

      Of course, "Cancel Culture" is being added. It is such a sexy buzzword, meant to silence any criticism. And my concerns are labeled an "ad hominem" attack, although I did not target the authors, just the authors' conflicts of interest.

      I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on the authors' reply. Am I in the wrong here? Happy to learn and do better if I crossed a line.

      Replying to @MicrobiomDigest @cecilejanssens

      Their comment about examining differences between "employed" and "non-employed" women is a red herring. Your comment was based on the amount of energy expended at work, those two buckets are far too broad to examine this imo

      Arguing that there is a lack of population-level data on energy so we can safely ignore it as a confounder is just ridiculous, no idea where they got that idea from

      And, above all, it's not an ad hominem to point out CoIs, they're being very defensive about something that should presumably be a boring admission

      Also, of course, there's a very strong evidence-base demonstrating that industry funding is likely to lead to pro-industry conclusionshttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/195843 …
