A small increase in a small risk is still a slightly bigger but small risk and we are relieved to note there is no association of cancer with red meat consumption.

Why do we allow the abuse of statistics to create a scare story about food and health, because the figures quoted are meaningless due to confounders not discussed. 

How to make a scare out of very little with statistics:

Suppose a 1% risk is a 1.3% risk…lets use the 0.3% increase in (absolute) risk or use the ratio (0.3 to 1) to get an impressive 33% increase in (relative) risk – Same risk increase but more journalistic scare power!

Enjoy the bacon with eggs – as with all traditional foods.

CBN News has a much more important story to tell!.

Fighting the flab means fighting makers of fatty foods -WRONG !!!  – New Scientist Opinion Column

My response to this article in New Scientist this week:-

Carbohydrates and insulin are obesogenic and dietary fats are not obesogenic.

The Danish politicians who taxed fat were the victims of erroneous medical advice.

Sugar causes obesity, and we explain further in our research review paper:

Is the metabolic syndrome caused by a high fructose, and relatively low fat, low cholesterol diet?
