Dr. T. Colin Campbell statements and paraphrases

"Plant food consumption was strongly correlated with the formation of antibodies." (in regard to Hepatitis B virus)

Correlations are suggestive, not necessarily proof of causation.

When one has a number of correlations all pointing in the same direction, one may begin to explore causation.

People who consumed more plant-based foods formed antibodies to the virus (Hepatitis B) and no correlation to liver cancer mortality rate.

"Plant food consumption is not correlated to liver cancer rates. Animal food consumption is correlated and the correlation with liver cancer is that the significance level of 0.001 (p-value?) for statistical argument."

Statistical Significance - PubMed

In research, statistical significance is a measure of the probability of the null hypothesis being true compared to the acceptable level of uncertainty regarding the true answer. If we break apart a study design, we can better understand statistical significance. When creating a study, the researche…
