here's another experiment for you that I've run on myself:

When I consume products that contain wheat, I feel sick. When I don't, I feel fine. Sample size n=1, and I am not medically trained. What conclusions, if any, do you think I can draw from my experience?

I don't know, did you control for placebo effects? Did you verify there isn't something else in those products that makes you feel sick?

Science is hard. Control experiments are key.

Clearly, I need to stop eating wheat.
