This whole issue (including the "recall bias" crap) makes me really mad! They apparently think women are a bunch of ignorant slobs who can't be trusted with information. They want to keep women as dumbed-down as possible. From a strictly consumer-rights view, it seems obvious women should be given ALL THE FACTS so they can make an informed decision. Duh! Suppose . . . say . . . 10 out of 15 studies showed a link between abortion and breast cancer. Wouldn't you want to know - especially if you had other risk factors to consider? Just common sense. For victory & freedom!!!

You could do a study right now about people who had car accidents yesterday, and find that, oh, say, 98% of them consumed a dairy product within 6 hours of the car wreck.

And you could repeat that study and get the same results 10 out of 15 times.

But reasonable people would not draw a link between the dairy products and car accidents.

The parameters of the studies DO matter, especially if you are looking to provide "facts".
