Sensational news stories ‘damaging’ nutritional research

Professor Day should listen more carefully to John Ioannidis: or example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N63skNtYaJw I thought that it was already well known that most nutrititonal epidemiology was a waste of time and money. Just one small correlation after another, with no evidence for causality. The stream of contradictory results means that the public just laugh at the latest "coffee cause cancer" scare. That discredists science as a whole and it's high time that it stopped. It can't be blamed on journailsts. The authors and journals promote such studies ruthleslly -they know clickbait when they see it. And to do such studies in collaboraton with the food industry would lead only to yet more bias and wrong ideas. Again see Ioanndis for the evidence,
