Are you saying that you don’t think that your diet is an important health factor?

I was drinking a lot of fruit “juice,” figuring it was about 95% water, and good for me. But they were loaded with high-fructose corn syrup. Doc did my blood one day and told me my sugar was really, really high, and that I had type 2. I cut out the “juice,” and within a couple months, I was slightly above high normal. Don’t even have to take meds anymore.
These studies appeal to those with high anxiety about getting sick. If they can find something they think lets them predict a cause, which they can then avoid, it feels to them like they have control over what otherwise seems to be a more or less random occurrence. They then seek to recruit others to believe the same thing, which gives them confidence they must be right.
As for the researchers, they're just in it for the easy publications and maybe some grant money.
