If the statistics are reported in the format of the American Psychological Association, which is very clear format, has software that will specifically go and make sure those all check.

Those are some examples, but there are many others that people are working on.

I don't think there are any compelling observational epidemiologic data.

When I think of the things where you've got relatively hard endpoints, relatively large sample sizes, usually they've not looked at hard, big thresholds.

And even if they have, they've looked more continuously at protein intake.

Even if they have, I can show you studies in either direction, studies that make it look like more protein is beneficial and studies that look the other way.

I think protein intake is highly confounded with social class as well as type of protein intake.

So what I think we can say is absolute knowledge is beyond us.

in this context, but we can have reasonable degrees of certainty, certainty for practical purposes, as long as we need to be open with them.

One of the things that I often get frustrated with in nutrition science and some other elements of scientific community is we say science is always evolving and the public needs to understand that it's not something wrong when we, in their view, flip-flop and we change our mind.
#368 ‒ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.
We change our mind when new data become available.

But then the implication is we were honest with the public all along and saying, this is what we think today.

And the one thing that always just stands out in my mind is early 1990s, Michael Jacobson, Dr. Michael Jacobson, PhD, nutrition scientist, director of something called Center for Science in the Public Interest.
