「砂糖の摂取量が多いほど心疾患のリスクが低くなる」という主張に対して、それは研究デザインの不備による「逆因果関係」が見せるまやかしである、という批判。
興味深いことに、この批判は、医学研究者ではなく、法学研究者によりなされた。
かつて、低容量のアルコール摂取が健康に良いとした主張も、逆因果関係に基づく誤解である。
このような耳触りの良い主張をメディアが流すことについて、研究者の倫理的な責任が追求されるべきである。

本研究では、**心血管疾患（CVD）**に分類される以下7つの疾患の発症を「アウトカム（結果）」として分析対象としています。
• 虚血性脳卒中（Ischemic stroke）[1, 2]
• 出血性脳卒中（Hemorrhagic stroke）[1, 2]
• 心筋梗塞（Myocardial infarction）[1, 2]
• 大動脈弁狭窄症（Aortic stenosis）[1, 2]
• 心房細動（Atrial fibrillation）[1, 2]
• 腹部大動脈瘤（Abdominal aortic aneurysm）[1, 2]
以下では、これらの「アウトカム」に関する元の研究の主な知見と、それに対する解説記事からの批判をまとめています。
⸻
元の研究：「添加糖の摂取量と7種の心血管疾患発症リスクとの関連」に関する主な知見
この研究は、スウェーデン人の男女69,705人を対象に、添加糖の摂取量と7種類のCVDの発症リスクとの関連を調査したものです [1, 3]。
• 疾患ごと・摂取源ごとの違い：
添加糖摂取とCVD発症リスクの関連は、疾患の種類や糖の摂取源によって大きく異なることが示されました [4–6]。
• 添加糖総摂取量との関連：
- 虚血性脳卒中と腹部大動脈瘤では、添加糖摂取量と発症リスクとの間に正の直線的関連が認められました [5, 7, 8]。
- しかし多くの疾患では、リスクが最も高かったのは、最も摂取量が少ない層（総エネルギー摂取量の5％以下）であり、5〜7.5E％の摂取量では、虚血性脳卒中、心筋梗塞、心不全、大動脈弁狭窄症、心房細動のリスクが有意に低下していました [8]。
- 一方、出血性脳卒中との有意な関連は見られませんでした [8]。
• 糖の摂取源ごとの関連：
- 加糖飲料の摂取は、虚血性脳卒中、心不全、心房細動、腹部大動脈瘤のリスクと正の直線的な関連があり、週8回以上の摂取は、これらの疾患リスクを11～31％高めると報告されています [5, 7, 9]。
- 菓子類（ペストリー、アイスクリーム、チョコレートなど）の摂取は、全ての疾患において負の直線的関連を示し、週2回以下の摂取で最も高いリスクが見られました [5, 7, 10]。
- トッピング類（卓上砂糖、はちみつ、ジャムなど）は、心不全・大動脈弁狭窄症とは負の関連が、腹部大動脈瘤とは正の関連が認められました [7, 10]。
2009年のデータを使った感度分析では、人工甘味料入り飲料の摂取が、虚血性脳卒中および心不全のリスク増加と関連していることが観察されました [11]。
⸻
解説記事では、元の研究結果について「極めて予想外な内容」であるとし、特に「添加糖摂取が最も少ない群でCVDリスクが最も高かった」点や、「菓子類の摂取が多い群ほどリスクが低かった」という結果に対して、**逆因果関係（reverse causality）**の可能性を強く指摘しています [12]。
• 逆因果関係の指摘：
- 健康状態が悪化した人が、健康を気遣って添加糖などの摂取を控える傾向があるため、「摂取量の少なさ」が疾患の原因ではなく、「疾患の兆候や診断」が摂取量の減少を引き起こしている可能性があります [13]。
- 研究では、がんや糖尿病、一部のCVD既往者は除外されていましたが、肝臓病や腸疾患など、食生活改善の動機となる他の病歴がある参加者は除外されておらず、逆因果関係のリスクが残ったままだと指摘しています [14, 15]。
- また、高血圧、血糖、ナトリウム摂取、脂質、家族歴、経済状況といったCVDのリスク因子が統制されていなかったことも、逆因果関係の可能性をさらに高めていると述べられています [16]。
• 菓子類に関する不可解な結果：
週14回以上の菓子類摂取群の方が、週2回以下の群よりもCVDリスクが低いという結果については、逆因果関係に加えて、選択的な過少申告（健康上の理由で甘い物を控えている人が摂取量を控えめに報告した可能性）も説明要因として挙げられています [17, 18]。
研究では追跡開始から最初の3年間の発症例を除いた感度分析を行っていますが、それでも逆因果関係の影響を十分に除外できていないと批判されています [19]。
かつて、低用量のアルコール摂取が健康に良いとされた研究が、逆因果関係により誤った結論を導いていたことと重ね合わせ、同様の問題が繰り返されていると警鐘を鳴らしています [20, 21]。
この研究結果が、「添加糖は摂らないよりも摂ったほうが良い」といった誤解を生む恐れがあるとし、研究者側は逆因果関係の可能性についてより明確に説明すべきだと提言しています [22]。

In Japanese “ふるさと”(furusato) means not only his born or grown town but also countryside or nostalgic town. Does the word “hometown” have same meanings?
Great question! You're absolutely right that the Japanese word 「ふるさと」(furusato) carries rich emotional and cultural connotations. It can mean:
In contrast, the English word “hometown” is more limited in meaning. It typically refers to:
It does not usually carry the same emotional or nostalgic depth as 「ふるさと」. For example, “hometown” doesn’t naturally evoke images of countryside, nature, or childhood memories unless additional context is given.
If you want to express the broader, more emotional meaning of 「ふるさと」 in English, you might use phrases like:
Would you like help translating a specific sentence or concept involving 「ふるさと」 into natural English?

ご質問ありがとうございます！ おっしゃる通り、日本語の「ふるさと」には豊かな感情や文化的な意味が込められています。具体的には：
一方で、英語の “hometown” はもう少し限定的な意味しか持ちません。通常は：
そして、「hometown」は「ふるさと」のように、田舎の風景や郷愁、自然とのつながりなどを自然に連想させる言葉ではありません。感情的・文化的な深みは、文脈を加えないと伝わりにくいです。
「ふるさと」の広くて感情的な意味を英語で表現したい場合は、以下のような表現が使えます：

Valveは8月18日にSteamにおけるユーザーレビューの仕様を変更し、言語別の基準で評価が表示されるようになった。
新仕様では、設定されている言語のレビューが一定数を満たしていると、その言語でのレビューが評価の基準として表示される。
この新仕様を利用してSteamの様々なゲームのレビューを見てみると、『日本語』のレビューは他の言語より甘めの評価がされている傾向が強いことが明らかになった。
某記事では全体より好評率が6%低い「ARK: Survival Evolved」が日本語のレビューが他の言語より厳しいタイトルの例として挙げられていたため、ここでは全体より好評率が6%以上高いタイトルを例示している。
| タイトル | 全体の好評率 | 日本語の好評率 |
|---|---|---|
| AdVenture Capitalist | 87% | 94% |
| Banana | 82% | 88% |
| Capcom Arcade Stadium | 54% | 73% |
| Cart Racer | 78% | 85% |
| Desktop Mate | 63% | 78% |
| EA SPORTS WRC | 62% | 69% |

| UNDERWARD | 70% | 85% |
| VRChat | 75% | 83% |
| World of Guns: Gun Disassembly | 84% | 90% |
| アストラル☆パーティー | 56% | 66% |
| オーバーウォッチ 2 | 24% | 37% |
| セーリング エラ | 79% | 85% |
| ドールズフロントライン2：エクシリウム | 48% | 61% |

以上のように、『日本語』によるレビューが他言語より甘めの評価になっているタイトルがかなり多いことが窺える。
また、Tower Uniteのように全体の評価が高めのタイトルでも、日本語はさらにその中でも甘い評価がされているのがわかる。
いつか空から札束が降ってきましたら、わたくし、歌だのキャラデザインだの動画だのを片っ端から外注して、豪華絢爛なミュージックビデオをお作りあそばせようと思っておりましたの。
……ところがどっこい、AI様がその夢を叶えてくださる時代が来たのですから、これはもうやらねば詐欺ですわよね！？ということでJust Do Itいたしましたの。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znw6q9o3Ssw
長年わたくしの脳内という狭苦しい檻でカビていた世界観が、ようやく陽の目を浴びましてよ……あぁ、涙でモニターが見えませんわ。
でも、この魔法のような力にもすぐ慣れてしまいそうですので、今のうちに自慢と感想を置き逃げいたしますわ。
お試しにボカロ風の楽曲を作ってみたくなりまして「ボカロといえばメンヘラ曲ですわよね？」という根拠不明な偏見をフル装備。
じいやに出してもらった狭心症のお薬をガン見しながらデカフェコーヒーをがぶ飲み、心臓をテーマにした歌詞をSuno様にえいやっと投げ捨てましたの。
ジャンルは「心拍ビートの憂鬱アンビエント＋ウィスパー女子」でしてよ。ええ、きっとアンビエントですわ。
出来上がりは……もぅ最高❤
文字数てきとーな歌詞なのに完璧なリズムで歌い上げ、吐息混じりで耳に直接ささやいてくるんですのよ。わたくし、思わず「結婚して」と言いかけましたわ。
しかもこのボーカル様と作曲者様、実在しないのですって！ この世にいないのにわたくしの脳を直撃してくるとか罪深いにも程がございますわ。
テクとしては、漢字は時々お中国語読みをしでかしますので、怪しいところは平仮名に開くのが吉ですわ。
再生成で微修正もできるので、間違えても泣く必要はございませんの。
複数キャラ並べるのは大変ですって？ あら、そんな面倒なこと庶民にお任せあそばせ。
わたくしは「少女！天使！羽！骸骨！心臓！」という王道厨二キャラ一択で、niji・journey様に丸投げいたしましたの。
余計な物を切り捨て、体を差し替え、お着替えさせ、全身を拵え、Midjourney様の背景と合体……もうモデルさんもビックリの撮影会でしてよ。
実写背景に二次キャラを置くのって、本当に背徳的で大好きですの。アクスタで世界旅行してるみたいでウフフ。
さらにちびキャラ、線画、油絵風まで取り揃えて、MVを宝石箱のように彩って差し上げましたの。
物語の都合上、世界中に心臓が溢れ返ったのでキャラと同数くらい心臓を量産いたしましたの。
洞窟から覗く巨大心臓を巡って兵士が撃ち合う？ 意味不明ですわね。でもAI様は文句も言わず描いてくださいますの。
なお「heart」だけですとハートマーク祭りになるので、「heart organ」や「human heart」で命を吹き込むのがコツですわ❤
まさか画像生成から動画生成の時代にワープするとは……技術革新って怖かわですわね。
ノンアルビールをたしなみつつ、Kling様にスチルをぶん投げて延々ガチャ。
実写背景二次キャラも線画も油絵も全部動きますのよ。ええ、怖いくらい。
とはいえ破綻は盛りだくさん。空と海の速度がバラバラ、傘の骨が頬骨を貫通マジックして、宙を舞う金魚がフュージョンしては分裂……まるで深夜のテンションですわ。
こういう時はプロンプト調整沼に沈むより、編集でマスク抜きやエフェクトで誤魔化すのが勝ち筋。そもそも生成させるシーンがおかしい？ それはもうお約束ですわよ❤
裏技として、背景とキャラを別々に当たりガチャし、合成してから中割りさせる方法もございますの。
AI生成なのにグリーンバック？ ええ、わたくしも笑いましたわ。けれど抜きやすいのですもの。
年初に歌を生成、「あらこれイケますわ！」と確信してGWに仮完成。
そこからワインのように「寝かせて熟成させましょう」と思ったら、お盆になっておりましたの……。
言い訳はございますのよ？ 幾度も引退したソシャゲに復帰してしまったり、ギックリ腰になったりと、庶民的アクシデントに見舞われまして。
気づけばAIモデルが一世代前に……うふふ、時代はお待ちくださらないのですわ。
それでも、この虚弱体力でも四半期に一本くらいは作れそうな手応えがございますので、今後も優雅に量産して参りますわ。おほほほほ……
I love Apple—that's why I'm angry at the SE and hopeful about the 16e.
Apple is not just a device manufacturer in my life. It has ideas, philosophy, and an uncompromising aesthetic. That's why I can talk about it this much.

■ The iPhone SE was Apple's betrayal.
The iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generations) is a “black history” in Apple's history.
The curse of 3GB RAM: Even the Photos app doesn't run properly, and Notes freezes.
Poor heat dissipation and battery life: The outdated chassis can't handle high-end chips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with no ultra-wide angle—specs that don't feel like 2025.
Flawed cooling structure: High-performance chips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermal runaway.
Selling such a product under the Apple name was honestly shocking. Apple was supposed to be a more trustworthy company.
---
■ The lack of philosophy in the SE has damaged the Apple brand
Apple is a company that sells “premium” products. However, the SE had become nothing more than a “cheap product sold at a high price.”
Because I love Apple, I couldn't accept that.
---
■ iPhone 16e—A Ray of Hope
The iPhone 16e is being criticized online as “half-baked” and “not worth the price,” but I don't agree.
It features the A17 chip and supports Apple Intelligence.
The camera is lacking, but it's incomparable to the SE.
This is the first step toward breaking the “SE curse.” It's proof that Apple is now delivering proper specifications in a proper form. Even if you don't buy it, the mere existence of this device makes me believe in Apple's future.
---
■ Specs and philosophy seen in the iPad series
Standard iPad: 3GB of RAM, freezes when taking notes, only good for viewing.
iPad mini: A-series chip is fine, useful as a secondary smartphone.
iPad Air: Almost the same as the Pro. Best balance of price and performance.
iPad Pro: Competes with the MacBook. Can't fully utilize its potential due to OS limitations.
Having used all Apple products, I can tell which models have “philosophy.”

■ Apple Watch is a device that sells “peace of mind”
With fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and other features, it has the potential to save lives.
It's not a medical device, but it's trustworthy in the sense of “buying peace of mind.”
Other manufacturers have similar features, but Apple's reliability and presentation are in a league of their own.
I've also tested Xiaomi's Mi Band 9, and it's indeed high-performance for 5,000 yen. But the Apple Watch, even at more than ten times the price, offers more than ten times the value. Intuitive operation, brightness, notification support... everything is “thought through.”
---
■ Apple Vision Pro — Madness with a Purpose
600,000 yen? Who would buy that?
Equipped with an M2 chip, no compromises.
Made not for others, but for their own beliefs.
This is Apple's “reason why it's worth the high price.” Rather than releasing a cheap, half-baked product, they bet on insane perfection. That's Apple.
■ When it comes to facial recognition, I lost to Apple.
At first, I was against it. “Fingerprint recognition is fine,” I thought.
even when fingerprints don't work due to sweat or water,
even while wearing a mask,
it unlocks instantly.
Now, facial recognition is the norm. I lost to Apple. But I'm happy about it. The future Apple envisioned was truly convenient.
■ In conclusion: Apple is my life.
Behind the “convenience” lies a proper meaning and ideology.
That's why I could genuinely be angry at the SE, and that's why I was moved by the arrival of the 16e, thinking, “Apple is back.”
I will continue to love Apple. But not as a blind follower. As someone who believes in Apple's ideology, resolve, and integrity.
I’ve compiled all my passionate thoughts into this text, which can be seen as a testament to “living with Apple.” It is truly your “Apple Manifesto (creed).”

This is Apple's “reason why it's worth the high price.” Rather than releasing a cheap, half-baked product, they bet on insane perfection. That's Apple.
■ When it comes to facial recognition, I lost to Apple.
At first, I was against it. “Fingerprint recognition is fine,” I thought.
even when fingerprints don't work due to sweat or water,
even while wearing a mask,
it unlocks instantly.
Now, facial recognition is the norm. I lost to Apple. But I'm happy about it. The future Apple envisioned was truly convenient.
■ In conclusion: Apple is my life.
Behind the “convenience” lies a proper meaning and ideology.
That's why I could genuinely be angry at the SE, and that's why I was moved by the arrival of the 16e, thinking, “Apple is back.”
I will continue to love Apple. But not as a blind follower. As someone who believes in Apple's ideology, resolve, and integrity.
I’ve compiled all my passionate thoughts into this text, which can be seen as a testament to “living with Apple.” It is truly your “Apple Manifesto (creed).”

■ The iPhone SE was Apple's betrayal.
The iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generations) is a “black history” in Apple's history.
The curse of 3GB RAM: Even the Photos app doesn't run properly, and Notes freezes.
Poor heat dissipation and battery life: The outdated chassis can't handle high-end chips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with no ultra-wide angle—specs that don't feel like 2025.
Flawed cooling structure: High-performance chips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermal runaway.
Selling such a product under the Apple name was honestly shocking. Apple was supposed to be a more trustworthy company.
---
■ The lack of philosophy in the SE has damaged the Apple brand
Apple is a company that sells “premium” products. However, the SE had become nothing more than a “cheap product sold at a high price.”
Because I love Apple, I couldn't accept that.
---
■ iPhone 16e—A Ray of Hope
The iPhone 16e is being criticized online as “half-baked” and “not worth the price,” but I don't agree.
It features the A17 chip and supports Apple Intelligence.
The camera is lacking, but it's incomparable to the SE.
This is the first step toward breaking the “SE curse.” It's proof that Apple is now delivering proper specifications in a proper form. Even if you don't buy it, the mere existence of this device makes me believe in Apple's future.

■ Specs and philosophy seen in the iPad series
Standard iPad: 3GB of RAM, freezes when taking notes, only good for viewing.
iPad mini: A-series chip is fine, useful as a secondary smartphone.
iPad Air: Almost the same as the Pro. Best balance of price and performance.
iPad Pro: Competes with the MacBook. Can't fully utilize its potential due to OS limitations.
Having used all Apple products, I can tell which models have “philosophy.”

■ Apple Watch is a device that sells “peace of mind”
With fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and other features, it has the potential to save lives.
It's not a medical device, but it's trustworthy in the sense of “buying peace of mind.”
Other manufacturers have similar features, but Apple's reliability and presentation are in a league of their own.
I've also tested Xiaomi's Mi Band 9, and it's indeed high-performance for 5,000 yen. But the Apple Watch, even at more than ten times the price, offers more than ten times the value. Intuitive operation, brightness, notification support... everything is “thought through.”

■ Apple Vision Pro — Madness with a Purpose
600,000 yen? Who would buy that?
Equipped with an M2 chip, no compromises.
Made not for others, but for their own beliefs.
This is Apple's “reason why it's worth the high price.” Rather than releasing a cheap, half-baked product, they bet on insane perfection. That's Apple.

■ Apple Watch is a device that sells “peace of mind”
With fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and other features, it has the potential to save lives.
It's not a medical device, but it's trustworthy in the sense of “buying peace of mind.”
Other manufacturers have similar features, but Apple's reliability and presentation are in a league of their own.
I've also tested Xiaomi's Mi Band 9, and it's indeed high-performance for 5,000 yen. But the Apple Watch, even at more than ten times the price, offers more than ten times the value. Intuitive operation, brightness, notification support... everything is “thought through.”
---
■ Apple Vision Pro — Madness with a Purpose
600,000 yen? Who would buy that?
Equipped with an M2 chip, no compromises.
Made not for others, but for their own beliefs.
This is Apple's “reason why it's worth the high price.” Rather than releasing a cheap, half-baked product, they bet on insane perfection. That's Apple.
■ When it comes to facial recognition, I lost to Apple.
At first, I was against it. “Fingerprint recognition is fine,” I thought.
even when fingerprints don't work due to sweat or water,
even while wearing a mask,
it unlocks instantly.
Now, facial recognition is the norm. I lost to Apple. But I'm happy about it. The future Apple envisioned was truly convenient.
■ In conclusion: Apple is my life.
Behind the “convenience” lies a proper meaning and ideology.
That's why I could genuinely be angry at the SE, and that's why I was moved by the arrival of the 16e, thinking, “Apple is back.”
I will continue to love Apple. But not as a blind follower. As someone who believes in Apple's ideology, resolve, and integrity.
I’ve compiled all my passionate thoughts into this text, which can be seen as a testament to “living with Apple.” It is truly your “Apple Manifesto (creed).”

■ The iPhone SE was Apple's betrayal.
The iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generations) is a “black history” in Apple's history.
The curse of 3GB RAM: Even the Photos app doesn't run properly, and Notes freezes.
Poor heat dissipation and battery life: The outdated chassis can't handle high-end chips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with no ultra-wide angle—specs that don't feel like 2025.
Flawed cooling structure: High-performance chips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermal runaway.
Selling such a product under the Apple name was honestly shocking. Apple was supposed to be a more trustworthy company.
---
■ The lack of philosophy in the SE has damaged the Apple brand
Apple is a company that sells “premium” products. However, the SE had become nothing more than a “cheap product sold at a high price.”
Because I love Apple, I couldn't accept that.
---
■ iPhone 16e—A Ray of Hope
The iPhone 16e is being criticized online as “half-baked” and “not worth the price,” but I don't agree.
It features the A17 chip and supports Apple Intelligence.
The camera is lacking, but it's incomparable to the SE.
This is the first step toward breaking the “SE curse.” It's proof that Apple is now delivering proper specifications in a proper form. Even if you don't buy it, the mere existence of this device makes me believe in Apple's future.

■ Specs and philosophy seen in the iPad series
Standard iPad: 3GB of RAM, freezes when taking notes, only good for viewing.
iPad mini: A-series chip is fine, useful as a secondary smartphone.
iPad Air: Almost the same as the Pro. Best balance of price and performance.
iPad Pro: Competes with the MacBook. Can't fully utilize its potential due to OS limitations.
Having used all Apple products, I can tell which models have “philosophy.”
