Interesting although not entirely surprising results.

Some aspects of the results were hard for me to interpret though. Although some risk seemed to increase in a dose dependent way, some didn't. For example, with refined grains once you got out of the lowest quintile, your risk went up but it didn't seem to be dose dependent. So the gains were in eliminating refined grains or not? Sugar consumption though was different: there seemed to be gains to any reduction in sugar. I wonder if those kinds of nonlinearities would replicate or not.
