[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 2332149, member: 52527"] Science daily has a less inflammatory write-up:- [INDENT][I]Dr Li says that while these results suggest that higher egg consumption is positively associated with the risk of diabetes in Chinese adults, more research is needed to explore causal relationships. [URL]https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/11/201115101249.htm#:~:text=It%20found%20that%20people%20who,a%20serious%20public%20health%20concern[/URL]. [/I][/INDENT] Note that:- [LIST=1] [*]The use of 'results suggest that' acknowledges that this is just a single study and it is possible that the results may have arisen by chance. Further studies would be needed to confirm whether or not this association is real. [*]The use of 'associated with' acknowledges that no claims can be made about whether egg consumption might contribute to the development of diabetes. For example, egg-eating might be associated with prosperity which might also be associated with low levels of manual labour, i.e. exercise, and it might be this that is producing the effect. There are many other possibilities. Again further studies would be needed. [/LIST] It's also worth bearing in mind that just because a study has been published, it does not mean that it reflects the scientific consensus. It's good that newspapers report on scientific results but it's unfortunate that the media tend to report the results as if they are the final picture rather than just one small piece of a difficult jigsaw.
