A recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology came to the conclusion that skipping breakfast was associated with an increase in the risk for mortality from cardiovascular disease, according to results of a new analysis. The reaction on social media to the release of this data was swift and a mixed bag of passionate responses. Check them out below!
Another example of how association and causation are NOT the same! The impact of Diet QUALITY not even assessed here!! No wonder everyone is so confused about how to eat…

Does breakfast skipping cause stroke, per an observational study making the rounds? Fasting may adversely affect those with metabolic dysfunction BUT:
👉Bkfst skippers were less healthy (hard to control fully)
👉Rarely having bkfst not associated with riskhttps://t.co/EDJJSEzhyP pic.twitter.com/kLjFmKzJPE— Dr. David Ludwig (@davidludwigmd) April 23, 2019

Could it be, people who skip breakfast wake up late, they partied late (with smoking), And things like that. If one ate breakfast "rarely" didnt change the CV disease but "never" got HR of 1.87 suddenly. Nothing was statistically significant except this. 🙄 Another FFQ recall. pic.twitter.com/TVqWotjvHH
