The New England Journal of Medicine has released a new study of fat and mortality. Paul Campos deftly analyzes the data that the new study was based on:

I've forwarded this article to Bob Bazell, who is the medical correspondent for NBC News (and with whom we've worked countless times) with a little note. Watching his report of this study, I about pounded my head into the television screen; he fell for it hook, line and sinker, and he damn well ought to know better.

*sigh*

Would you be comfortable sharing the end result of that correspondence with us (assuming there is any)?

[klwalton.livejournal.com]

If there *is* an end result, as in another story being done, I'll share it.

Thank you! I hope it gives him food for thought!

I love it. Unfortunately, Campos "has an agenda" and "isn't even a doctor or researcher" so the fatphobes dismiss his findings and continue to use absolute junk science to justify our continued subjugation, villification and positioning as subject of derision, scorn and hatred.
