These are the specific foods that were linked with healthy aging and other outcomes. Green-favorable; Red-unfavorable

Adherence to these diets (most to least in quintiles) linked to healthy aging

Bottom line: A Mediterranean type diet high in fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, whole grains, low fat dairy products, plant-based foods, and reduced sodium, trans fats, animal-based foods, sugary beverages, ultra- processed foods was the optimal pattern. Link

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine So onion rings > salmon? Care to explain…

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Is it possible that those who followed healthy diets already had healthier lifestyles overall—exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, managing stress, and getting good sleep? This could reflect healthy user bias, where diet is a marker of a broader health-conscious lifestyle

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Looks like the healthy user bias food list.

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine is there an ethnographic subdivision of diet and experimentation here?

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Summoning @diegocaleiro here. Also I think by the groupings of the results - it’s the combination, not single products that made it worse. Like - if you eat McD - you would be eating meat and coke and fries. If you’re vegan - you won’t be eating at McD, but also not eating meat.

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Interesting, but FFQ data

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Nutrition is a major determinant of long-term health

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine 😂😂 garbage

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Simply put, eat real food, eat the "human diet"

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine The association with diet and chronic diseases based on the study doesn’t seem that high? 2.24 OR? 2 times?

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Eat more avocados (I eat a lot of them) 🥑 ! You can use AI to chat with the report here: https://myaidrive.com/HgudF2qL...

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine fast and fried foods: deep significance on every metric except healthy aging lol chick fil a is brain food

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine I agree with Dr. Cleave.

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Another self reported data study with arbitrary standards. That’s got the reliability of a chocolate teapot in a volcano…

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine On the contrary, I would consider someone who had cancer as a child and reached age 70 to have achieved healthy aging but this definition would not count that

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Healthy individuals who can correctly recall the guidelines in de facto nutrition quizzes are healthier bc they are very health conscious and not necessarily because of their actual long term dietary intake, which is difficult if not impossible to measure with high accuracy

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Calling bs on this

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Problems with study: 🤔Self-reported data = weakest source of information in science. 🧍 remember wrongly / lie. Associations, Not Causation: No proof of direct cause. Correlation studies = weak. 🐷Mediterranean diet = famous healthy diet. Health conscious 🧍 already do it.

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine All the healthy eating/exercise/wellness in the world can't save you from infections and/or severely disabling post viral illness. Many chronic illnesses are being recognized as post-infectious, so important to add clean air to list of things to keep in mind!

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Wine is better for you than tea. Yes!!!

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine The fast food part is interesting and unexpected.

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine @bryan_johnson wins again - afaics the winning diet seems to be along the lines of what he does

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine You can’t lump processed meats with red meat especially if that red meat is grass fed and grass finished - ridiculous

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Potatoes below butter and alcohol has me speechless.

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine What country or countries were participants from

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Some weird things in the results 🤔🤔🤔

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine This is the kind of paper which should include "in the US" in the title.

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Dietary data was based on a single food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) collected once every 4 years. We have to do better than this if we want to answer questions on diet, healthy aging, and longevity.

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine This study is nonsense, why does ‘butter’ appear many times?

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Really just a rehash of outdated debunked dietary myths with no RCT interventional studies ! Just eat fatty animal sourced foods to satiety which existed before 1850!

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Does it account for differences in basic things like activity and BMI to see if it is the diet specifically that is the difference or just that people with those diets are more likely to be thin and active?

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine How is it possible that fast and fried foods is green? What am I missing

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Ridiculously poor study. Asinine to even post,
