Looks like maybe the stats were added later in an edit, as I didn't see them. Comparing stats from separate countries is terrible. This has no control for any of the other possible factors associated. Those aren't studies, but just random stats. I at least offered a study. I didn't offer any "flak", but a starting point for you with a source.

Comparing between countries is "terrible" because "there's no control for any of the other possible factors associated", but the study you offered which also seemingly has no controls is fine... because "starting point"?


You only looked at the abstract. Go look at the study instead of making up claims about lack of controls.
