The first 2 links have no data available. I only could read the third.

Self reported. Oh boy. No control. haha.

So... is this not science? Its induction?

Since fiber correlates with healthy food, I believe that is what we are seeing. Where as eating sugar and oil has no fiber. However its not like we are having a meat eater compared directly.

I come from chemistry, not sociology. The replication crisis has been kind to me, and terrible for biology and beyond.
