(50,303 posts)First, you complained about no studies.
Then people posted about studies.
So you raised the bar and said they had to be longitudinal studies.
Then people posted about longitudinal studies.
But you figured you could shoot it down by claiming that they weren't very big longitudinal studies.
Seems like analysis paralysis to me.
In the meantime, "no shit", exercise and diet do help lots of people. Sorry if that is not good enough for you or not positive enough or not backed by enough whole-lifetime longitudinal studies involving millions of people with lots of twins thrown in, then ok it's not convincing to you. Oh yeah, triplets would be good too, wouldn't they? Would that convince you?
Note about statistics: Just because it may seem, or even be found after the fact, that some people have not benefited from some regimen A, it does not logically disprove the regimen when there are ample statistics showing a net benefit with a probability < 0.05 of chance (degree of confidence > 95%).
Is there a dark cloud behind the silver lining of diet and exercise? Would you care to share it with us? (That excerpt was your first post in this thread. Self-prophetic, it seems.)
