This brings to mind Rush Limbaugh’s exposé of carrots. He noted that Lee Harvey Oswald, Charles Manson, and Al Capone ate carrots at one time or another and that ninety percent or more of all who ate carrots in 1918 are dead.
And I know a guy who died from not smoking.
It happens.
That's an old routine. In 1968 (or around that time) on The Smothers Brothers Show, Pat Paulsen did a comic bit where he said tomotoes are bad. He said in 1830 (or so) some people ate them, and now they're all dead.
