US Meat Consumption per Person vs US Death Rate

US Meat Consumption per Person and US Death Rate correlate at r = -0.45 over 63 years (1961–2023), p = 2.4e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.24. Holds up after detrending.

Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 2.4e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.24). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
