It is all natural and safe to use. No side effects and works without even following any diet plan. I would suggest you to take Crevax. It is all natural and safe to use.

I cringe when I see "diet" products, period. Switching from "whole" foods to processed crap wasn't a healthy idea, reallly??? I would have never guessed. Hey, I found the cause of obesity in the USA: Lazy, gluttonous pigs don't want to just eat less and move more. I love her critique of the “low-fat” diet. I cringe when I see “diet” products, period.

The raw correlation of a scatter of points with a line is not enough. You have to compare it with other possible lines. For example, if you have a single cluster of points, you can get the same correlation drawing a line through it in any orientation. It doesn't tell you anything at all. I agree with Auriganus here.

The sample is too small and too bunched. Just for comparison, what would be the correlation rate with the best-fit horizontal line? Can you tell us please? I 'guesstimate' that it would be just slightly less than 0.71. I just do not think that the figure of 0.71 is significant in this case. The sample is too small and too bunched.

How does she get the trend line from that graph? It is totally arbitrary. Come to that, the first graph shows no trend at all – just three isolated points at top right.

That first graph showing CHD against saturated fats is completely useless. It shows 16 points randomly distributed up and down the vertical axis. Only two, the Japanese and Italian points, are significantly lower fat and CHD. Two points don't make a trend! lower. For example, she picked out the US point on the graph, but she might equally well have chosen the French or Swiss data, which show very low CHD but the same fat intake as the US. The graph is statistically meaningless. I am shocked. That first graph showing CHD against saturated fats is completely useless. It shows 16 points randomly distributed up and down the vertical axis.
