Summary

The number of ways that observational epidemiology is misinterpreted never ceases to amaze me. I wanted to make a video about this and truly explain in detail healthy user bias and unhealthy user bias, as well as why these two things can be such fatal confounders in this type of study. By contrasting epidemiology from the West and East, this becomes more apparent, and studies done on the UK cohort in this video illustrate that epidemiology seems to be telling us more about how beneficial healthy behaviors like exercise and avoiding alcohol and smoking are rather than eating meat vs vegetables. If you or someone you know has been misled by the mainstream reporting of epidemiology you need to watch and share this video!

0:00.0	What is up you guys? Welcome to another edition of Controversial Thoughts. I'm
0:05.5	kicking an old school today with the original OG steak shirt from my buddy Mark Bell
0:11.5	before all you guys ask. You can't get this anymore. This is a limited edition
0:15.9	shirt that is gone. You can't get it anymore, but you can get no
0:19.9	sateline tradition from heart and soil. If you need it, you can always check us
0:23.7	out heartandsoil.co. If you need more organs in your life, we got B4
0:28.8	organs coming back. We got a muna milk and colostrum, which is a colostrum, and
0:33.1	we've got hard-the-warrier coming in the very near future. Today, I want to talk
0:37.4	about epidemiology. I've talked about this in the past, but I want to do my best
0:41.1	to try and clarify when we use epidemiology, when we don't use epidemiology, and why
0:47.2	epidemiology is so misleading. Because this is at the center. This is really the
0:51.6	crux of so many of the discussions and of so much of the confusion that happens
0:57.3	around meat and linoleic acid and basically everything associated with plants
1:02.0	versus animal foods within our society, within Western versus Asian cultures,
1:06.7	and why so much health information is so freaking confusing. What is epidemiology?
1:12.3	Colloquially speaking, epidemiology is observational research. Epidemiology is
1:18.6	an intervention with a survey and an observation usually of a cohort of
1:23.7	people either prospectively or retrospectively. Technically, you can have
1:27.8	cross-sectional epidemiology, and it's important to know that epidemiology is
1:32.3	observational. There are no interventions in epidemiology studies. Epidemiology,
1:40.3	observational epidemiology was never designed to be able to draw a causative
1:46.7	inference. You can't say that correlation is causation. Many of you may have heard
