- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

... "non-observational data"?
What even is that? Math proofs?
Research papers are unfortunately based on a combination of observation and theories derived from more observation, but for anyone curious, just type "colon cancer dietary fiber" into Google Scholar and then put the article DOIs into Anna's Archive. (wikipedia keeps safe links for Anna's Archive).
Unfortunately observational epidemiology cannot establish cause and effect. It is only hypothesis generating, it should never make the news and absolutely should not be used to dictate patient diets. https://www.diagnosisdiet.com/full-article/epidemiological-studies
