Vegetarians have a much more active digestion allowing shorter exposure to carcinogenic products found by digesting meat and they have a completely different gut flora. On autopsy, you can always tell a vegetarian because their adipose tissue is pure white, not dark. The also have a lower BMI. But this is just cancer, there is literally no disease that is not reduced with vegetarian diets.

I’m sorry but it’s not. They are running a regression model. You don’t need to show me that you can write down the equation but it is common to at least show something like ANOVA or just in general a table that shows your model and the coefficient estimates. It might be buried somewhere because the tables aren’t rendered next to the text but I couldn’t find it.

I‘m not sure why we call this community science if I have to explain why I would like to see the mathematical model that justifies the core result of a paper.

An unfortunate issue with Lemmy. Seems to generally skew tech which makes sense but there isn’t as much scientific literacy necessarily.
