Or it's based on a hundred different other things than when they first tried peanut butter.
- rabidonrails 4y agoYour point of anything is possible is always and forever true. The point here is that there seems to be a strong correlation between people eating Bamba and no peanut allergy. How can we develop a control group? Oh wait, there is a group of people that have the same genetics but doesn't consistently eat this...perhaps there's a connection. The goal is to see if we can show a correlation/causation.
- soperj 4y agoAs always, correlation is not causation, and when you have a large group of people who actually changes their behaviour and starts to feed their children peanut butter early and it has no effect whatsoever you can begin to rule out the theory that was based on a small sample size of a distinct population.
