we know that dairy product consumption is correlated with higher density and fractures. There is no consensus on how to explain that,

And we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered.
Well that's sexist, ignore him.
Crime rates are down, yet cops are more militarized than ever.
I am not certain, but it's possible that the latter is causing the former.
