The Only Significant Variable in any Nutritional “Study”

Over on Andreas Eenfeldt’s blog, there is a long, ongoing back-and-forth battle in the comments on this post between some ignoramus who is repeatedly pointing out how all the “studies” prove that grain (and fiber) are good for everyone, including the other readers of that blog.
