    Doesn’t matter if it’s peer reviewed. There isn’t enough data to establish causality.

    Chances are people who do those sorts of diets are already at risk. That’s the super important data points we don’t have.

    So even if their peers confirm the data is accurate and their analysis is accurate it doesn’t mean anything without further study.

      Yep, I don’t see any way they could prove statistical significance as they could not reject the null hypothesis.
