Where does the figure 1100 come from? Don’t ADG refer to NRVs, wh refer to WHO data, wh refer to global research? For each nutrient reference base is huge.

I counted them, I was closer to 900, but
@DrDuaneRD quoted 1,100 in his piece for TC. I counted bc I too was spurting for years the "based on over 55k scientific papers"...flicked thru hard copy on desk "hey, those numbers aren't even close to 55k" https://theconversation.com/dietary-guidelines-dont-work-heres-how-to-fix-them-68803 …2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

I think the 55k was for the number of abstracts reviewed, not the number of studies included in the final document

The statement being bandied around was "Best available scientific evidence based on over 55k scientific papers".... It is only those of us who have done SR+MA who might realise the 55k refers to the "first pass lit search"...but for most people, it sounds legit and robust?

So - as a public statement, and was "popped in" almost every DAA media release leading up to and following the GL release - so we were all saying it without thinking. It is a "misrepresentation", a "headline" the very thing you rally against in your blogs?

I'll have a look. Might not have time to read the book, sadly. I'm limiting books to PhD things because it was either that or stop sleeping
