Yep just like scientists couldn’t find a link between smoking and anything either. People laughed at the doctor who washed his hands. They said Earth is at most 100 Million years old. And so on.

That was physics and biology and here you are talking about correlation studies??

My comment was designed to stimulate discussion about this exact issue. Not because I really had a strong position. What if studies show one thing and other studies can’t reproduce the effect? What if something IS true despite current studies “debunking” it?

The quote above was an example as such: "Nonetheless, other experiments show that sugar may at least influence behavior. Dr. Wesnes conducted a study in which he found that having a large amount of sugar for breakfast led to a severe deterioration of attention span"
