Why this is evidence

Per-member (H-2, H-3, H-4, H-9, H-10, H-12):

  1. H-2: mildly disconfirmed - a protective effect should show in 1550 MIs over ~20 y.
  2. H-3: not disconfirmed on its own terms (H-3 is an all-cause-mortality claim), but no CVD-event harm appears.
  3. H-4: well predicted (null on ischemic heart disease specifically).
  4. H-9: well predicted - a healthy Western male cohort is squarely its scope.
  5. H-10: well predicted.
  6. H-12: compatible but unexplanatory here.
