That's why he didn't call it a meta-analysis but instead said "It’s more of a meta analysis in my mind of all the different studies and anecdotes I’ve osmoted over the years"

It'd be one thing if he said all those things as some sort of scientific fact, but he very clearly qualified his statements as hypothetical conclusions informed by surveying literature, reading developments and other things.

By saying "I'm not trying to be cruel" you seem to be at least aware that you're being pretty censorious. It seems misplaced to me.

You want me to call a spade a spade. Meta analysis is an actual term of art in the sciences. People sharing folk wisdom about diet is mostly malarkey of between zero and dubious value spoken in a confident tone it doesn't deserve.
