Seriously, I read this all the time, and the statistics just don't back it up (as well as my own health record). How do people come to believe this when it isn't even close to being true? If you believe this to be true, then why? Why doesn't the statisitcal information back this up? I'm seriously confused and curious as to why this is such an accepted piece of information, one that is touted by NGOs, government departments, the media, etc, and not trying to stir anything up.
