Ruth,
You may be on to something here!
Another interesting observation on the toxic effects of Hydrogen Monoxide:
100% of all cancer victims have been exposed to water , and nobody who has never
been so exposed ever got cancer. Maybe that doesn't prove cause and effect, but
where there is smoke.............

Studies Can
someone explain this, please, in some way other than with statistics? I
have nothing against statistics, but they show correlations, not causes.
Looking at correlations alone, it is perfectly possible to draw the
wrong conclusions about causes, as in the following canard:
Q:what is it in a highball, a gin-and-tonic, and a scotch and soda
that gets you drunk?
A: it must be the water, because they all
contain more water than anything else.
