YOu said “Correlation is not causation.”

That is INDEED 100% correct.

Probably people who are overweight drink diet sodas DUH!

This does not mean that diet soda is MAKING them fat.

Likewise, obese people are more likely to die of heart attacks.

It’a about like saying that simply buying large size clothes raises your chance of heart attack. Nope, has although there is a STRONG correlation, it’s an INVERSE causal factor.

If the public is so stupid as to believe this sort of bunk, they might even beileve in Global Warming......

I say this, as I sit here in Dallas, where the forecasted low tonite is 12 degrees, as part of the THIRD major winter blast Ice/Snow we have received this year. Idiots won’t stop believing global warming / climate change no matter what. There are enough bad scientists and lying media to convince people of anything.
