Therefore, I'll add a newsgroup to this thread.

And on a personal level, I've rarely eaten white rice and white bread.
Further there is the issue as the whether this is actual causation
or whether it is just some sort of correlation. For example
people who eat whole grains may eat beans and fish more
often.

Quite, is the effect due to what you've added to the diet or what was
removed to make room for it?

Maybe the people who ate more rice ate less wheat?

What about people who eat NO grains at all? Why aren't they included
in trials?

And what else aren't they telling you? I read a paper recently which
called a diet "high fat" when it contained 350g carbs. Well I suppose
it was *comparatively* high fat seeing as the alternative diet was
450g carbs . . .

Replacing nutritional foods with cheap carbs and cheap Omega 6 seed
oils is a nice little earner. So is prescribing statins to overcome
the negative effects of the diet - probably a reason why so much
"dietary" research is total crap

The good research stands out like diamonds in a turdpile
