- Where papers keep them, and two traps

About it
A headline says a food cuts your risk by half. Half of what?
The paper usually has the answer. It sits in a table, far from the abstract. This card tells you which two numbers to find: the risk without the thing, and the risk with it. Once you have both, "half" either means a lot or nearly nothing.
Two pages. The card goes on the fridge; the second page takes three headlines apart. It is free, and I send it to your email.
Questions
Why do you need my email?
To send you the card. I don't sell addresses. If you also want the occasional note from me, that is a separate box, and you can leave it empty.
