Great stuff today.

From the press release: "excessive dietary protein could increase atherosclerosis risk." I love the terms: "could," "might be", etc. All signs of association, not true causation. But to the lay person, it sure sounds like iron-clad causation.

Also the French video was a good illustration of thinness.

My wife and find the thinness in the Woodstock videos as another good example. People will say it was from drug use. However today we have rampant drug use along with obesity. Drugs of the 60's were not preventing obesity. Also I don't believe the French smoked that much in the 1890's. Mass produced cigarettes did not come into being until around the second world war.

Yes, both the paper and the press conference were littered with weasel words.
