This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Correlation isn't causation. But that's still interesting.

Yea, we'd need to filter out the behavioural angles to clearly identify causal relationships.

Do people who live longer just happen to start eating differently etc.

For example, the better I feel, the better I eat. It's not the bad eating that makes me feel bad - the better eating is a consequence of feeling better.

I can tell exactly when my diet is going to tank, when my chronic conditions flare. Diet has zero effect on them.
