I can tell you I have a relative who never took care of his teeth, drank Coke, candy, and milk, and had his teeth removed by 40. He also had a stroke by then and another about five years ago.

He is/was chronically lazy. It now seems amazing he is stil alive.

Coincidence is not causation.

People who take poor care of their teeth probably take poor care of the rest of their body too.

I’m very interested if someone can prove causation. But I haven’t seen that yet.

I read that people who keep their phones on silent have a 61% better chance at lung cancer.

Or, people who have push to start cars have a 79% greater chance of brain cancer before the age of 39.

Hey, this is fun.

This makes sense. What is being reported here is a statistically significant difference in outcome plus a reasonable mechanism to explain that difference.
