| Re: Diet Linked To Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Why correlation is not causation: It is not often when people eat low carb diet that is high in meat and fat and at the same time is high in vegetables (which are obviously good things), and at the same time relatively low in carbs and calories. So, studies studying general populations and their trends, are going to miss that segment of people due to its size, and therefore are not instructive for people like me who follow the diet Idescribed. Like I said, I eat several pounds of vegetables per day, one apple, plenty of meat, some fat, at the same time it is relatively low in calorie. 50% calories from fat, 25% from carbs and 25% from protein. A typical fat person who eats a lot of meat has a diet that could not be farther from what I eat. Why should I be , therefore, influenced by their health problems that have little to do with meat, as such. Carb intake of most other people and their adiposity IS the confouding factor that makes conclusions based on correlation unwarranted. i |
