THE OBESITY PARADOX IS NOT A PARADOX

A tweetstorm by a frustrated epidemiologist

I was disappointed to see an "obesity paradox" article in @AmJEpi

Instead writing a letter to the editor, I decided that Twitter is a better way to reach ppl on #epitwitter #medtwitter

1/ Before I begin: I have the utmost respect for @easchisterman and the @AmJEpi team. But, I have a particularly strong reaction to articles claiming to have evidence of a “true” obesity paradox.

Science moves forward through scholarly debate. Let’s keep the discussion courteous!
