The studies aren't wrong; everything causes cancer, and the better off we are, the longer we'll be in a position to get cancer. The only way to stop cancer is to murder everyone. The only problem is that people tend to care about marginal carcinogenicy more than they care about deadlier things, like wet floors, stairs, and mosquitoes.

Everyone knows the phrase “Correlation does not imply causation”. But it’s so easy to forget.
