Confounding of diet–disease associations by correlated dietary exposures: the difficulty of isolating a single nutrient's effect when it co-varies with other nutrients or foods (e.g., saturated fat, refined carbohydrate, overall dietary pattern) in observational research. Not for non-dietary confounders, geographic heterogeneity of associations, or confounding in non-nutrition fields.
