Dietary risks

4 papers8 findings

Human studies link dietary risks to cardiovascular and colorectal cancer mortality and rising type 2 diabetes burden; a computational analysis links them to chronic kidney disease disability-adjusted life years. Diet-attributable mortality rises over 1990–2023, whereas diet-attributable noncommunicable disease mortality falls over 2000–2021. Six findings come from three independent labs in two countries.

C, W, M, H: cells, worms or flies, mice, humans. Dark: independent labs found the same change there. Light: one lab or one study. Outline: nothing yet.

Labs are independent when their papers share no last author and no institution.

Against: findings that point the other way from most findings on the same outcome.

No results posted: trials that ended more than a year ago with no results on ClinicalTrials.gov and no paper in ARN’s record.

Company ties: findings with an author at a company, or from a paper whose competing-interests statement declares ties to one.
