Re: Does too much protein in the diet increase cancer risk?

"Actually it looks at small samples of people who are given very rough
dietary guidelines to follow and then measures levels of plasma growth
factors and certain hormones that *may* (or may not) indicate some risk
of cancers. That is about as small a study looking at as indirect
markers as I've seen in a long time. Hardly definitive. Very poor
science at best."

What, as experts in statistics say, would be the threshold for such
research? Actually they were not given food guidelines, people who met
guidelines were found based on the food choices, exercise and calorie
intakes they were following for their own reasons. As per usual you
don't pay attention to content except for headlines and not much more.

Note, "hypothesis-generating paper" was the main author's view of the
study, he, Fontana, was the principle author not the person you did the
"are you still beating your wife" hachet job on. Here as all good
journals do these days is the funding information:

"Funding from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and
Kidney Diseases and the National Center for Research Resources of the
National Institutes of Health supported this research."


As for your view about "good science" is, I fear even to mention it
gives far far more credence then this and past performance supports on
your part.
