I post that I'll trust my cardiologist over said "freelance science writer".

Do you seriously not understand that this writer is simply reporting the data that researchers have found? It's not just her opinion that she came up with.

Do you know what a meta-analysis is? It's a comprehensive compilation of dozens of research papers on a specific topic. It's considered the gold standard of evidence in science.

So it's not your doctor's opinion vs this journalist's opinion, or my opinion. It's what your doctor has been told vs the data compiled by thousands of scientists who have committed their careers to studying this specific subject.

Darth is more accustomed to copy/pasting articles to pass off as his own posts than he is to reading them.

Can you post the actual meta-analysis

It was a meta-analysis of 7 studies and 6,250 subjects.

You're overstating what the meta-analysis actually said based on the article.



Also, what about strokes?
