I am skeptical that researchers and reviewers of Science wouldnât have accounted for that. I made some research about rebuttal to this study, so far the only ones I have found are from farmer related or anti-vegan communities, which are likely more biased than a scientific journal. I will need at least a contradictory peer reviewed article to convince me this meta analysis is incorrect.
When you are not an expert of the domain, it is easy to get mislead by arguments such as the one you gave, maybe youâre correct, maybe youâre misleading, I donât have the knowledge to verify by myself. Thatâs why I need to rely on reputable source, and itâs hard to do more reputable than a meta-analysis in Science. If you are correct, the rebuttal will eventually be published in a peer reviewed journal, Iâll will be happy to read the conclusions then.
