How some data can be misinterrputed
« on: January 25, 2013, 08:48:48 AM »
THE DANGERS OF BREAD

In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations. Every piece of bread you eat brings you nearer to death. Bread is associated with all the major diseases of the body. For example, nearly all sick people have eaten bread. The effects are obviously cumulative:

99.9 percent of all people who die from cancer have eaten bread

99.7 percent of the people involved in air and auto accidents ate bread within 6 months preceding the accident

93.1 percent of juvenile delinquents came from homes where bread is served frequently

Evidence points to the long-term effects of bread eating: Of all the people born since 1839 who later dined on bread, there has been a 100% mortality rate.

Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below AVERAGE on standardized tests.

Newborn babies can choke on bread.

Most bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

Man, I must be lucky.
I am a devoted bread eater yet I have none of the problems stated above and I can sure tell the difference between facts and babbling!  :D ;)
Just goes to show that you can make the numbers add up to what ever you want to fit your side of the story.
I guess that our government must be really great bread consummers because unlike myself, they don't seem to be able to tell the difference when it comes to the facts!!!

Good example of how numbers can be manipulated to say anything you want.

Rush Limbaugh went through the same explanation about 5-6 years ago..only he said carrots, in place of bread.  It is a good explanation of how, " Numbers don't lie, but liars use numbers"..
 
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
