Template
Verify the output doesn't claim one factor causes a health outcome on the strength of an association alone. Confounding, reverse causation, and coincidence routinely produce correlations that aren't causal, and "this is linked to that" is not "this causes that." Confirm any causal claim about an exposure, food, drug, or behavior is supported by evidence that addresses confounding, and flag any statement that treats an observed association as an established cause-and-effect relationship.
