[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1803693, member: 459333"] Do you mean that the benefits may not be due to the thing they were having more of, but due to having less of something else? That's a fair point, but I don't think it changes the overall picture. For example, one could argue that just because people can thrive on high fat and low carbs doesn't mean that fat is in and of itself a great thing - it could mean that increasing fat is just a useful way of allowing people to reduce a bad thing (carbs). I think a diet is best taken as a whole - a combination either works for an individual or it doesn't. I think one study I read where apples and pears were linked to weight loss was not an experiment where people were forced to eat them - it was a meta-study in which it seemed that people who ate apples and pears did very well with weight loss; there was no specific 'other food' which they consciously cut out, at least that was recorded.
