She stated the study did not include data on physical activity. The average caloric expenditure for the entire population of China which you cite is not helpful in comparing outcomes across the studied population groups. Do you have evidence that the study did in fact include details of physical activity by subject or county?

John,

One, the article you linked to above was written in 2006. The article you are commenting on was written in 2010. So there is no possibility that this was a rebuttal to these arguments.

Two, I skimmed over the rebuttal and saw no effort on Dr. Campbell’s part to use any numbers, present any graphs, or provide any reasoned response to his critics. Instead, it appears that Dr. Campbell has written a quite lengthy example of the “Appeal to Authority” fallacy – the authority being himself and his history as a researcher. This is how gurus speak, by appealing to matters unrelated to the data at hand to convince one of a position. Denise has made an argument with raw, hard numbers, which should be the true measure of quality in any scientific argument.

If the bulk of your diet is fruits and vegetables you won't run into this problem.

Hi.

As you stated above that the china study didnt have any data on exercise is wrong.

There is a big section on American and Chinese caloric levels due to exercise.

John thinks science is religion.
