The Atlantic has just published a story about "nutrition academia" and its response to persistent results across two decades of studies, indicating that - wait for it - ice cream, of all things, might be good for diabetics.

Here's the primary study that the article is referencing:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6821541/

The authors’ responsibilities were as follows—J-PD-C and FBH: designed the research; J-PD-C: performed the statistical analyses and drafted the manuscript; YL and AVAK: contributed to the statistical analyses; J-PD-C and FBH: share the responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the analysis; and all authors: read, edited, and approved the final manuscript. J-PD-C received speaker and consulting honoraria from the Dairy Farmers of Canada in 2016 and 2018, outside the current work. BL has received investigator-initiated and peer-reviewed research funding from the Dairy Farmers of Canada and National Dairy Council for research outside of the current work over the last 5 y. BL has also received speaker honoraria from the Dairy Farmers of Canada over the same period. None of the other authors reported a conflict of interest related to the study.


Also, this:

In the 3 cohorts, dietary information was collected and updated every 4 y using a semiquantitative FFQ. Participants were asked how often on average they consumed a standard portion size of each food in the past year, from “never or less than once per month” to “≥6 times per day.”

 

FFQ is "food frequency questionnaire."   Think about someone asking you how much dairy you've consumed in the last year.  I can't even tel you how much dairy I ate last week.

 

So, we have a ridiculously imprecise, self reported, observational and retrospective study performed by researchers with clear ties to big dairy.  And the net takeaway from the reporting is that people at risk for diabetes should eat ice cream.  It is not hyperbole in the slightest to say that this article will kill people.  Shame on the Atlantic for this dangerous, click-baity garbage.
