That’s what I’m getting at - how correlated with life expectancy do you think food safety is?

And can you think of the measurement of life expectancy might differ between countries making comparison challenging?

What I'm saying is that this purported food safety isn't manifesting itself through superior life expectancy, burden of disease or IQ measurements. Why do you think that is?

Because food safety is one of thousands of factors that affect life expectancy, burden of disease and IQ metrics?

So what do you think these other factors are?

For life expectancy - genetics, traffic safety, drug use, suicide rate, healthcare, how the data is categorized, etc, etc, etc
