Age Quote by Jay Leno
“A new medical study reports that men who eat ten pizzas a week are less likely to develop prostate problems at age 50. That's because they are usually dead by age 40.”
About This Quote
Source News article: Health Trends Weekly, 2023
A study claims men eating many pizzas die younger, so the observed lower prostate issues are due to early mortality, not pizza.
In simple terms: Eating pizza isn’t protective; the data is misleading.
