I see ...I love the example of guacamole and cancer. I see this "associated with" nonsense multiple times per weeks in various "medical" news feeds. You can find a chart of such associations at tylervigen.com. A couple of my favorites: <br /><br />Total revenue generated by arcades is associated with computer science doctorates awarded in the US.<br /><br />And<br /><br />Number of sociology doctorates awarded in US is associated with deaths caused by anticoagulants.Josephhttp://jparpaiamd.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323692122514281455.post-17191779622116658332017-08-18T23:31:17.382-04:002017-08-18T23:31:17.382-04:00Interesting and Factual post.

And with too many 'opinions' not based on fact ~ everyone concerned suffers. Conversely, often times, too many facts are bypassed and ignored because they cannot (For whatever reason) be seen under a microscope or seen (Or was overlooked) on an MRI or CT scan. Sometimes treatment is not based on factual or known/proven scientific evidence, but opinionated, maybe exhausted, doctors provide the patient with a specific treatment because they googled it? ...if I'm making any sense to you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
