In this comment there’s a link to a meta analysis of food groups and their effect on all cause mortality. A serving of whole grains would appear to be approximately twice as protective as either fruits or vegetables: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41965298 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41965298
- riku_iki 2y ago> A serving of whole grains would appear to be approximately twice as protective as either fruits or vegetables this is not my reading of that study.
- KempyKolibri 2y agoWhat’s your reading of that study and how does it disagree with the inference I’m making?
- riku_iki 2y agothere was no control groups (veggies vs whole grains for example), they selected bunch of studies for metaanalysis with different goals and methodologies, no indications how balanced and what components where in diets in those studies. This is exact example of junk science.
- KempyKolibri 2y agoThe control group is modelled from the different quintiles of consumption, so it’s false to say there’s no control group. What differences in goals and methodologies have you identified that you believe renders them so different that they cannot be summated? Not sure what you mean by “no indications how balanced and what components where in diets”, you’ll have to clarify.
