How is something diet aggravated but not diet related? Seems like all these people who claim there's no _meaningful_ correlation here are just setting goalposts in a way where they don't feel compelled to change their diets.

Bingo. People would rather find anything to blame but themselves. Change is also hard. People can change; most wont. You see it far too often in "fat acceptance" and "healthy at every size" communities.

It's not caused by diet in 85% of cases.

It can be aggravated by diet if you have it.

You can't seriously tell me you don't see the difference?

Easy, tiger. So you meant to say 15% of cases were primarily caused by diet? That's a much more sensible statement.

My original statement was in a comment thread that had already asserted that, I was adding a statistic and both comments are still correct.
