I think dietary matrix is also important, so dietary patterns can be more useful than focusing on individual nutrients. Hard cheeses seem to be associated with positive health outcomes despite their SFA content, yet for butter the inverse is true.
I think what I find frustrating about Nina is the number of fairly basic misreadings of the evidence she makes, despite having been corrected on it (and admitting the error) multiple times. She also grossly mischaracterises the results of studies repeatedly, so misleads laypeople into thinking the evidence base is more heterogenous than it really is.
Additionally, she frequently makes contradictory statements regarding her own epistemology. For example, she states that observational studies can “only show association” and therefore cannot be used for causal inference, yet her twitter account is full of examples of her using observational data to draw causal inferences.
You mention a sensitivity analysis of Hooper that she conducted. Do you have a link to that?
