Around one year ago I created a post on reddit in an attempt to highlight Bart's erroneous interpretation of a basic distribution graph from a study that he thinks refutes the lipid hypothesis: Bart Kay - the arrogant ex scientist who is in serious need of reschooling : r/ketoduped

In the original post, I criticized one of Bart's older videos. Recently though, it has come to my attention that Bart in modern time keeps misrepresenting and lying to his audience about what the distribution graph actually shows. I discovered this when I watched one video from the youtube channel CarnivoreTribe.

Here's that video: There is No link Between Heart disease & Cholesterol - Professor Bart Kay (timestamp: 8:00-8:15)

This is a textbook example of base rate neglect or the base rate fallacy. Bart pretends as if the distribution graph reflects incidences of heart attacks per 100 000. That is not the case. That is a lie and something he has just pulled from his ass. The distribution graph does NOT show incidences of heart attacks per 100 000. All it shows is the % of hospitalized patients with different ''LDL cholesterol'' levels (mg/dL). It's an event based graph exclusively. There is no complementary information about the people who did not experience a heart attack event, therefore we have no clue about the total population who were at risk of having a heart attack with the different levels of ''LDL cholesterol'', so therefore it's not possible to establish the incidences of heart attacks per 100 000.

So when is Bart gonna stop lying to his audience?! He will not stop anytime soon. It's therefore very important that we call him out on his BS and report him.

More posts will be created about Bart in the future... I want him gone on youtube.

Sometimes it feels like the dude is freaking wrong about almost everything.

In this video: M. Nagra Vs A. Chaffee Analysis - Bart Kay and Former Fat Girl Nicole... LIVE - YouTube (timestamp: 2:38:20-2:38:45 and 3:27:20-3:28:25) Bart claims that 84 % of vegans quit and 90 % report severe health issues as the reason for doing thing so.

This is false. The 84 % figure is taken from this report by Faunalytics: HRC Study of Current & Former Vegetarians & Vegans Dec 2014

On page 4 in the report, it's super easy to confirm that the 84 % figure actually refers to vegetarians and vegans. One can run the math too: 10.2 %/(1.9 % + 10.2 %) ≈ 84.3 %.

So the 84 % figure actually refers to vegetarians/vegans. So let's now explore if 90 % of the quitters decided to quit due to severe health issues. All we have to do now is to go to page 6 in the report and read what it says under ''health''.

Then it says this: ''Former vegetarians/vegans were asked if they began to experience any of the following when they were eating a vegetarian/vegan diet: depression/anxiety, digestive problems, food allergies, low cholesterol, an eating disorder, thyroid problems, protein deficiency, B12 deficiency, calcium deficiency, iron deficiency, iodine deficiency, vitamin A deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, zinc deficiency.

The findings show that: 71% of former vegetarians/vegans experienced none of the above. It is quite noteworthy that such a small proportion of individuals experienced ill health.''

What the hell is Bart talking about?!

Here's another great summary page:

This guy should get deplatformed.
