Weightlifting with eating a donut? NAH
But in the previous 24 hours before suddenly dying, most people have eaten bread and only a very small percentage ate pork shoulder roastā¦
APPLICATION OF RELATIVE RISK:
Assuming that a mere 1% of the US population are into weightlifting, this makes for 3.3 million lifters. 114 accidental deaths while lifting equates to a mortality rate of 0.0002% annually (across a 17 yr endpoint measure for mortality).
Now letās assume that 50% of the US population, i.e., 165 million individuals, eat donuts. A single (1) death while eating a donut equates to a mortality rate of only 0.00000004% annually (17 yr endpoint applied).
As such, the relative risk of weightlifting death is over 5000 times greater than that faced by Mr Donutās customers. For our Canadian friends up north, one might consider making a similar assessment for Tim Horton customers.
DISCLAIMER / LIMITATION: This RR analysis only accounts for accidental weightlifting deaths. including individuals murdered while lifting weights at the gym would serve to further increase the relative risks of lifting mortality.
What about robbers shot to death by police while eating a doughnut they snagged while robbing the doughnut store? Were they included in this study?
Inquiring minds want to know!
I donāt eat donuts*
I put them on the end of my barbell and LIFT!!
*iron donuts
This goes to show you the ludicrousness of some of these statistics. Do people really think that eating X amount of eggs (where X can be even fractions of an egg) is really worse than smoking cigarettes? Yes, you can find this statement:
Itās not biologically plausible, even if it is mathematically āplausibleā.
I like how the article asks the question that, if we know there is a correlation between egg-eating and atherosclerosis, how do we know it wasnāt the atherosclerosis that caused the egg-eating?
My name is Fred.
I live next to a high powered tension electrical line that throbs and pulses and I hear it, I also have water is that āless thanā for drinking on the pollution level, I work a high stress job cause I can barely pay my bills and I just fret all the time and I am, like, a tad heavy and damn if my kids donāt want Iphones and other stuff I canāt afford andā¦andā¦andā¦I had a steak last night for dinner. Just got diagnosed with a small bit heart issues and fatigue and my anxiety and darn near depressedā¦but the Dr said I shouldnāt have eaten that steak!
ok that is what life is out there on meat eating out there HAHA
but no HAHA really cause this rampant out there!
@amwassil Ha! Given the damage those samples caused, I can almost hear:
āAssociate to Aisle 15, please⦠Clean up bodies lying in Aisle 15? ⦠Thank youā¦ā
Initially, that sounds like a ludicrous statement, but I think sometimes this type of reversal of causation thought experiment can lead to new ideas. Hmmā¦maybe the Earth really does revolve around the sun?
I actually think it would helpful for every scientist to do this.
How does everyone know those donuts are free giveaways? I canāt see a sign, although I have observed that KK donuts are sold in boxes of 6 here- a sight I found seriously disturbing when I first had contact
Total misunderstanding and misapplication of the Bradford-Hill criteria. Iām not sure if itās just scientific and statistical ignorance or willful distortion of these results. Does anybody really believe eggs are as bad for you as cigarettes?
To be clear, those are donut holes and if I recall correctly we were selling them for $1 per cup. Selling the donuts in boxes of a dozen. Proceeds to the Childrensā Miracle Network.
