I'm not sure I understand your meaning Sid???Sid Bonkers said:So Frank Hu has just been wasting his time for the last 28 years then pianoman.
Frank Hu has not been doing this study for 28 years.. no-one has been sat over anyone's shoulder recording what they ate. It was general FFQ data collected (every 4 years) over 22 and 28 years from health Professionals in the USA that has been re-examined with a new spin and used to draw some [very questionable] conclusions -- interesting and worthy of follow-up with real science to be sure but not good enough to be stating "13% risk!!!" or whatever the newspapers are trumpeting.
Take a look at the questionnaire yourself and imagine how you would complete that once every 4 years... how accurately would it reflect your daily diet?
