Another glaring problem with this “study”, self-reporting of consumption. Geez. And an Amen to E.N. Curtis above.
Another reason is that the statistics on heart disease are wildly inaccurate. Mostly based on death certificate diagnoses and self-related information conveyed by telephone interview and/or survey-type questionnaires. Also a number of studies on diagnoses of heart related disorders in hospitalized patients show that the clinical diagnoses based on histories, clinical course, and hospital tests are wrong between 1/3 and 1/2 the time.
