US Milk Consumption per Person vs US Life Expectancy
US Milk Consumption per Person and US Life Expectancy correlate at r = -0.43 over 63 years (1961–2023), p = 5.1e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.24. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 5.1e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.24). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
