US Cereal Yield vs US Health Expenditure
US Cereal Yield and US Health Expenditure correlate at r = +0.82 over 24 years (2000–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.07. Likely spurious (shared time trend).
Verdict: Likely spurious (shared time trend). Both series mostly just trend over time. After removing that trend the correlation collapses to 0.07 — the relationship is probably coincidental, not causal.
