all cereals, milk having been taken with all.Milk drinking at breakfast was a little less rare among patients with Crohn's disease, but it was still unusual.Apart from the absence of an obvious common factor, the observed association of Crohn's disease with cornflake eating is so strong as to make it unlikely to be indirect.The weaker asso- ciation of the other cereals with Crohn's disease may adequately be explained by the correlation of habits shown in table III.Wheat and bran eating would thus be linked with Crohn's disease secondarily through their association with cornflake eating.The association of porridge and of rice eating with corn- flake eating, though significant, are not strong enough to bring these habits, too, into association with Crohn's disease.
