Is that like the proposition I've made that eating causes death? As far
as I can tell, everybody who eats dies.
While there is anecdotal evidence that some people who don't eat die,
there's been no proper statistical evidence, nor proper study of alleged
individual cases to be sure other factors weren't involved.
Also, we don't know the latency. Most people who have allegedly died
from not eating were known to have eaten for many years before not
eating. Stopping smoking starts to lower the risk of lung cancer, but
only slowly, for example.
