An article that further highlights the point I made - they site some groups getting more acne when adapting a “wester diet” (not just milk), and fail to address all the easily found counter examples rested to dairy.
But that paper is only 1/3 about milk, it also cites high glycemic index carbs and saturated fats as being causes. Health issues around low fiber high glycemic carbs is not a new or novel claim
Going back to the ethnic groups it cites as seeing increased acne with adoption of “western” diets. It’s not a surprise or novel finding that a diet of ultra processed high glycemic low fiber and all the other issues with the convenience food diet causes health issues. It is interesting they cite a group known for lactose intolerance and blame dairy.
They cite one disease as creating a natural experiment, and yet don’t mention lactose intolerance.
And this new paper is just about acne, not the wide range of modern afflictions mentioned before.
Dairy very well could have negative impacts, but it also could be the next aluminum or eggs.
I’m not going to argue with eating less refined carbs and sugars and eating more vegetables. That’s well supported advice.
Latching onto select dietary papers and then extrapolating to broad conclusions is a hallmark of what’s wrong with how the media and people understand nutrition science.
- sitkack 3y agoThis whole thread validates my statement. You under explained your argument. I was not attempting to setup a straw man and attack you with it. While inciteful it was not an underhanded attack.
