Fuck off

Exactly. Everyone I know puts butter on bread except for a few "crazy carnivores" and yet people claim that butter is the problem. This is one of the most obvious cases of confounders.

The only other equally obvious one that comes to mind is hot dogs. They are always eaten with bun or bread. Funnily enough I was warned as a kid not to eat hot dogs without bread claiming that it'll make me sick. I tried once and it didn't make me sick but I just assumed I didn't eat enough for it to manifest. I ate only one.

Bread Pitt? 😳

Im not gangster enough to crush a full stick of grass fed butter solo but I sure will use my sourdough bread as a vehicle for the whole stick letsgoooo haha

Results: In total, 37 publications based on 24 cohorts were included. There was moderate CoE for a lower risk of CVD when substituting processed meat with nuts [SHR (95% CI): 0.73 (0.59, 0.91), n = 8 cohorts], legumes [0.77 (0.68, 0.87), n = 8], and whole grains [0.64 (0.54, 0.75), n = 7], as well as eggs with nuts [0.83 (0.78, 0.89), n = 8] and butter with olive oil [0.96 (0.95, 0.98), n = 3]. Furthermore, we found moderate CoE for an inverse association with T2D incidence when substituting red meat with whole grains/cereals [0.90 (0.84, 0.96), n = 6] and red meat or processed meat with nuts [0.92 (0.90, 0.94), n = 6 or 0.78 (0.69, 0.88), n = 6], as well as for replacing poultry with whole grains [0.87 (0.83, 0.90), n = 2] and eggs with nuts or whole grains [0.82 (0.79, 0.86), n = 2 or 0.79 (0.76, 0.83), n = 2]. Moreover, replacing red meat for nuts [0.93 (0.91, 0.95), n = 9] and whole grains [0.96 (0.95, 0.98), n = 3], processed meat with nuts [0.79 (0.71, 0.88), n = 9] and legumes [0.91 (0.85, 0.98), n = 9], dairy with nuts [0.94 (0.91, 0.97), n = 3], and eggs with nuts [0.85 (0.82, 0.89), n = 8] and legumes [0.90 (0.89, 0.91), n = 7] was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality.

Don’t blame politicians for what the voters did.
