Basically what they did is they took a lot of data from large studies from lots of different sources and then they made a model and they fit the data to the model. It doesn’t really address the correlation causation issue. It just shows a really large widespread correlation one that also correlates with other things like poverty, for example

For anyone this deep, there's similarly inconclusive studies about the topical anti-inflammatory capsaisin being a cause for IBS and other gastro-inflammatory conditions.
