      I think that pretty much covers it, doesn't it? You don't have time to read the actual science underpinning DG and make your own judgment or factor its history, but people's disagreement is "ignoring science". And it's OK because some people secretly agree with you!

      I have to agree here Gid, it is disappointing looking through your feed to see if I've missed something...and there's quite a bit of "making fun of morons" and still ignores that there are people who HAVE read, studied and analysed the ADG that are offering "another perspective"

      Absolutely, but I did talk about that in the op-ed. Most disagreements - like the discussion we had last week - focus on the utility/equity side of things as opposed to the question of whether eating according to the dietary guidelines would improve population health

      There are many ways to eat to achieve health. The ADG are not the panacea. Having them exist says they are the panacea. Its quite simple. If we "no one diet is superior" then there is no place for ADG. Can't have it both ways. The robustness of the evidence is 2ndry

      Well, the first two sentences are actually in my op-ed, I'd just disagree with the third there

      Replying to @GidMK @indigo5alpha and

      The robustness of the evidence? That is, in fact the easiest to dispute. The methodology to identify CoI in the studies; how CoI were managed within the process of review itself; the questions posed were only going to maintain status quo...

      CoI is obviously an important component of bias, but I'd disagree that it's the be-all-end-all you're suggesting wrt scientific evidence

      ...if we only took level A evidence - what would the ADG look like? As Indigo suggests, this is people's lives here, we owe it to the public to be very discerning!! DBRCT/RCT/SR/MA are only ONE PART of the science of what to eat to achieve health. We've made it the ONLY part.

      That 👆 is NOT science. The public deserves far better. Health professionals deserve better too. Bc we have and do trust "NHMRC/DAA" and I am saying, I did too, but now, well, I think the public are right to be a little outraged here.

      But SR/MA both include many forms of evidence, generally. I'm doing an SR at the moment that incorporates RCT/cohort/qual evidence

      Also, the NHMRC definitely looked at evidence outside of this in their review. I'm confused by that statement

          A SR of observational studies would only achieve a Level B/C evidence bc of the hierarchy we subscribe to. So really - its the hierarchy we subscribe to that I am saying "is not the only way to science" -

          When it comes to "what to eat to achieve health" we've applied a limited methodology - partly because the questions we've posed are focussed on "absence of disease" "reduced risk of disease" rather than "health"
