David Gorski on Nutritional Science
Long read, some problems in science (and Gorski surely sees only a selection of those), and much food for thought (ha!).
This figure caught my eye:
All results for salt, pork, olive and bacon are on one side of Relative Risk = 1, however with some results coming close to it? Come on, WTF! This smells like publication bias! And then there is milk and onion and beef and sugar and carrot. Just look at them! And don't get me started on tea…

Comments are most welcome! But please:
- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements
- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)
- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent
Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.
If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
