“The biggest problem is that the vast majority of studies are not experimental, randomized designs. Simply by observing what people eat – or even worse, what they recall they ate – and trying to link this to disease outcomes is moreover a waste of effort. These studies need to be largely abandoned. We’ve wasted enough resources and caused enough confusion.” – Professor John Ioannidis, MD, 2018.”
