I have said it before, in another context, and I repeat it here.

Correlation does not imply causation. Statistics alone prove nothing.

But it sure can churn up a lot of grant money, for further publication of even more statistics, based on the same questionable premise.

More pertinent to the subject - have these beef and dairy milk factor protein expressions been accurately identified?

And I have stated this in another context and will say it again, here:

“This is a correlation with some confounders removed, making it more likely to show causation.”

I also have to wonder if they were testing meat and dairy from grain-fed or from grass-fed cows?

Almost all serial killers drank milk as a child.
