It looks like other values would work too, as long as relative risk is some
type of U shaped function of serving amounts. This was prospective research,
but not experimental, so I ASSUME the odd serving size comparisons had to do
with less total consumption for the brown-rice eaters (? ? ?); th

I think Beth's point might still apply (in principle). Consider

ok).

Probably. Hard to resist those "rare foods" from our Environment of
Evolutionary Adaptation: sugar salt and fat, substances our ancestors consumed
only at holidays and special ocassions. Little did mother nature know we'd soon
have cheeseburgers available 24/7!

Hi Beth
I followed the link to the abstract (archives of internal medicine), and it
sounds like white rice eaters were NOT compared against brown rice eaters as
the basis for the lowered risk (if so, the 5 vs 2 servings is the obvious

Personally I do not think The 2 of brown rice and the 5 of white rice should
be an issue.The diabetic nutritional paradigm has something called "exchanges"
and "substitutes",so they need not be numerically equiivalent.I would like to

consists of a number of computer-mediated tasks (a good thing) that are

Great video with cool drawing technology - well worth the 10 min. I agree that
it is engaging but also vastly oversimplifying. "Technology is rewiring the

Yes, really neat presentation idea. How is that done? Probably would take too
much time for me ;-). I also find the cultural work on time interesting, but
Zimbardo is also good to illustrate overgeneralization, causal inferences from
correl., oversimplification, post hoc fallacy,etc. Pop-psych
I think I might do better on my evaluations if all of my presentations were as
engaging as this:
