Intuitively it makes sense that vegans/vegetarians would have a lower death rate, but it doesn't for them to have a lower incidence or Long-COVID incidence rate
This reminds me of the obesity factor, where obesity only plays a role if you're vulnerable to the virus in the first place (by increasing chance of death). But there are still millions of obese people walking around who are pretty unaffected by COVID
A basic food frequency questionnaire served as a tool for validation of the main self-reported dietetic pattern. The omnivorous were those who consumed any food of animal origin. The plant-based food pattern included flexitarian/semi-vegetarian (individuals who consumed meat at a frequency ≤3 times a week)
lmao why can't they actually define terms properly

Indeed.
fucking seriously
I've seen so much shoddy crap in journals that I don't trust anything unless I'm looking at the raw data
I remember an anthropology paper about the rise of pastoralism, and they cited the vitamin D in milk as a factor lol
It was in an actual paper too, like the ones that get posted on NCBI
