Correlation is not Causation

Remember, correlation is not causation – but it offers a hint:

So butter consumption goes down, lard consumption goes down, death from heart disease goes up (and up goes consumption of margerine, shortening and salad oil, what a coincidence). So, when they blame "fat" for heart disease, do you think animal fats like butter and lard are to blame for heart disease? Really? Honestly? No? Yes?

Correlation is not causation (and not included is consumption of other forms of animal fat, which have gone down as far as I know), but blaming animal fat for heart disease? You fail science forever!

Comments are most welcome! But please:

- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements

- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)

- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent

Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.

If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
