Agreed.

Also, these types of studies always claim to have corrected for differences in confounding variables, but there are always more confounding variables than have been corrected for, and all they end up doing is a statistical comparison of data with a fewer but still significant number confounding variables, and if the sample size is big enough they will find a significant P value and try to imply some sort of causation/significant correlation.
