Sounds a lot like The Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy

Do enough studies and statistically speaking one of them will show a link. This is most likely a statistical outlier and without multiple iterations of this test a false conclusion can easily be created.

Also as other commentators have already pointed out there are other points of correlation such as longevity which have been conveniently ignored - again helping to reinforce the TSF :)
