Selection bias much?
If you don't consume any of those 3 you're probably ridiculously wealthy on some freaky diet.
All this says to me is "The food of the masses is contaminated" which yeah - we already knew the rich pay a premium to get less contaminated food.
I went to Kazakhstan and people there don't eat any of those things
The traditional foodstuffs are flour and meat, with a lot of things made from milk
Call me crazy but I don't think traditional Kazakh diets were part of the study of 3000 pregnant mothers in New Hampshire.
Of course not, I'm just saying your don't need to eat those foods to survive
Suggesting we all switch to a meat-heavy diet is the worst possible suggestion for us and for the planet.
No, it's not.
And yet it's worked for many societies for millennia...hmmm
Yes, back before there were eight billion people on this planet. Farming vastly more amounts of methane-spewing animals than we do now is an insanely bad idea.
I'm wondering if factory farms were eliminated, how much the environmental damage would be reduced.
You should start using your urine to wash your clothes it worked for society for millenia...hmmm
Nobody was saying that you must eat eggs to survive - the point is to show the flaws in the hypothesis of the study when related to the sample group.
If you are sampling 3000 mothers in New Hampshire and looking for those who eat less poor people food and more rich people food you should expect to see a correlation that can be equally described by socioeconomic status as it can by diet.
