@Micah468420830 @vonVvegan @Pablolouis9 the 7 country study is only a "hypothesized study" so it's based personal option or anecdotes.. also here is proof that it was 22 countries and not 7 as you claimed https://t.co/zKQfP7jgbS you have been debunked and your claim of 7 is actually invalid and incorrect..

@CulDeSacHero @doktormush Let me know what you think about this. https://t.co/yqcKfx5CO2
@deirdre_tobias "non-fiction"? It is a carefully constructed narrative As a historian I know how easy it is to construct a false historical narrative. This guy has checked some of the 'historical' facts (mainly from 2.45 - 10.30) (apologies if it's not your style ...) https://t.co/hJNuyxFoRR
A more extended discussion of these. https://t.co/8j6MjmVoHi https://t.co/npTp3stpvi
Here is a summary of some of the "criticisms" made by popular book authors and bloggers. https://t.co/8j6MjmVoHi https://t.co/CqKeoydRRm
It is true that Keys was not gentle to Yudkin--his chief scientific opponent at the time--but the data at the time simply did not favor Yudkin's hypothesis. https://t.co/8j6MjmVoHi https://t.co/83LQ9CBFWY
Indeed, Keys invited as many investigators to participate as possible. Thus, he in fact recruited 16 cohorts from the 7 countries, as seen below: https://t.co/8j6MjmVoHi https://t.co/dgEMGGc87G
Nobody knows exactly why Keys chose these 6 countries, and he specified only that these countries included the most complete available data. Importantly, his critics found the same relationships that Keys found, just attenuated. https://t.co/8j6MjmVoHi https://t.co/c35VpE3oVP
Keys selected 6 countries from publicly available data to show a relationship between saturated fat and heart disease. Two of his critics plotted an additional 16 countries showing the relationship was in fact weaker if these new countries were included. https://t.co/8j6MjmVoHi https://t.co/2zJnozYbWt
