Comment by Deirdre K. Tobias
Nutrition epidemiologist; coauthor of a 2026 AJCN paper on target-trial methods in nutrition research
Given that diet is dynamic, multidimensional, and multifactorial, causal questions of dietary exposures are often complex. Consequently, research questions are often poorly defined, making study findings difficult to interpret and implement in the real world.Disputed (Jul 2026)

The source URL’s abstract contains the quote verbatim: “Given that diet is dynamic, multidimensional, and multifactorial, causal questions of dietary exposures are often complex. Consequently, research questions are often poorly defined, making study findings difficult to interpret and implement in the real world.” However, the same source lists six individual authors—Michael Fridén, Conor J. MacDonald, Deirdre K. Tobias, Dalia Stern, Yu Han Chiu, and Daniel B. Ibsen—so this cannot be verified here as a single-author quote by Deirdre K. Tobias alone. The page also shows publication status as July 2026. ([pure.au.dk](https://pure.au.dk/portal/en/publications/best-but-oft-forgotten-practices-applying-the-target-trial-framew/))
