I just wanted to pass this link a long to a BBC article about the relationship between life choices and health risks. I thought it was interesting.

    I thought the article had a great point. I wish it would have touched on the often exaggerated or misleading cause -> effect relationship that comes with statistics…

    50% of women eating 16 cheeseburgers a day are dying of cancer… only to find out that the only type of women that eat 16 cheeseburgers a day live in Chernobyl. It’s not the cheeseburgers causing cancer, it’s something totally unrelated…

    You should blog about these other types of statistical misinformation. You have far more experience with this subject than a lowly engineer :-) !

    This is really cool! I showed it to my mom because she is always complaining about cancer related statistics she reads online or hears about on Oprah or what have you.

    Maybe she will even start eating delicious bacon again!
