Why Studies Can Be Misleading

| Hi, this is Dennis Prager and this is what you missed yesterday on the show. | |
| I just want to say I listened to a USC doctor wrote a book and I listened to it on Audible and he was adamant that you live longer with less fat. | |
| That saturated fat is just, you know, meat. | |
| In particular, he swore against meat with the same passion that you swear for it. | |
| Right, and obviously he's wrong, and here's why. | |
| And I'm going to skip ahead a bit. | |
| So you said to yourself, how does this guy get all of this wrong information? | |
| Well, the wrong information is fed to all of these doctors and scientists. | |
| Because of money, and the money is flowing in from the big food companies like Unilever, for example. | |
| Unilever gives millions of dollars to a guy named Walter Willett, who runs all of the scientists at Harvard. | |
| So whenever you see a report in Time magazine or you see some, it'll say, Harvard scientists says it's the money trickling in by the millions to Walter Willett. | |
| He then hands it off to a scientist who will go and do an epidemiological study. | |
| Just to let the audience know what an epidemiological... | |
| It sounds important, but it's not. | |
| It's to study a group of people and what they do, right? | |
| So you could take any study if you just... | |
| Take a group of people, and if you squint hard enough, you can make that evidence whatever you want it to be. | |
| We do it in politics all the time. | |
| If you're a PragerTopia member, you can listen to the complete segment along with every show every day and commercial-free. | |
| You'll never miss another show. | |
