The trouble with isolated studies — no matter how credible the source — is that they more often uncover an accidental correlation rather than a direct causation: e.g. men who enjoy eating a lot of eggs and men who have a higher risk of advanced PCa have some other, unknown trait in common (genetic, physical, or otherwise).

(Also, CoPilot can be a useful tool, but apply a lot of healthy scepticism to its results. Generative AI mindlessly parrots information on the web, right or wrong, and then introduces its own errors to make it a bit like a game of broken telephone. Experimenting with ChatGPT, I've been able to generate exactly opposite responses about PCa just by rephrasing my question slightly. 😕)
