For example, you could check the death rate of 2 groups that have the same average age, same ethnic mix, same mix of male/female, same average social situation, etc. Then examine death rate of 1,000,000+ people in each group within 1 hour of eating a tuna fish sandwich versus 1 hour after eating a chicken sandwich. That’s why these studies are best done and interpreted by experts that do this stuff for a living, not vice presidents! 🙂
