1. Correlation is NOT causation!

    Dear editor: If the study says "there is a correlation" your report should include no implication of cause. This is simple grammar.

    The study has found a *correlation* and the researcher specifically claimed that there was no causal link. Therefore your title "Daily diet soda raises stroke risk by 61%: Study" is at best a display of incompetence and at best a display of dishonest sensationalism.

    Please stop making science look bad so you can sell more papers.
