      I haven’t personally found any correlations that I’m sure are definitely true yet.

      I think that the most interesting correlations that other people have found are the ones that you can do something about – like finding out that smoking causes lung cancer (because then people know not to smoke), or finding out that working with asbestos without protective masks can cause a type of cancer called mesothelioma (because there are now really strict laws to protect people from asbestos).
