It's really sketchy how their conclusions don't show the rate for 0 cups/day or 2-6 cups per day.

- boomboomsubban 5y agoAhh, I could only see the truncated version on the site. Though that's the reason they claim to have picked that group, as they were using biobank data they likely already knew the rates before the study started. Picking the lowest cohort from the get go is almost more sketchy.
