Correlation Games

Cutting dietary salt 'could prevent stomach cancer'

They completely neglect to say Why.
Helicobacter Pylori causes stomach cancer.  H. Pylori likes salt.
H. Pylori also raises blood pressure. and causes atherosclerosis. and maybe even Parkinson's.

Maybe y'all should start testing for that instead of serum cholesterol.
Or telling everyone to cut back on salt.

Science is wonderful.  Try it sometime.
