Cabbage against covid

Some statistics in action [1]:

 

"After adjusting for potential confounders, for each g/day increase in consumption of head cabbage of the country, the mortality risk for COVID-19 decreases by 13.6 %."

But wait, in case you don't like cabbage, we have some cucumber on offer: "For each g/day increase in consumption of cucumber, the mortality risk decreases by 15.7%."



Lettuce or broccoli is not that good: "Consumption of lettuce and broccoli showed the opposite pattern, i.e. a higher consumption was associated with a higher COVID-19 mortality."
