"An odds ratio of 1 indicates that the condition or event under study is equally likely to occur in both groups. An odds ratio greater than 1 indicates that the condition or event is more likely to occur in the first group." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odds_ratio)

Did no one notice that the Odds ratio on the top left is wrong? Am I missing something? If you calculate it, it's 6 just like the top right one....

Initially milk drinking was associated with E.coli outbreak with OR=3.9 and P<0.001 (Significant)... After stratification into ate cookies and did not eat cookies OR became 1 instead of 3.9 meaning the association disappeared. Therefore, eating cookies was a confounder and there is no real association between drinking milk and E.coli....instead, milk's (the confounder) contribution was responsible for the OR of 3.9 in the first place. This was furthered demonstrated with OR of 6 in the cookies alone group.

This one there were four odds ratios, one provided under each table. The only one that had an odds ratio greater than 1.0 was the table in the top right (Odds Ratio = 6, I believe), which when you looked at the labels, led to the right answer.

OR >1 indicates increased occurrence of event. The only OR greater than 1 was in the table that indicated that the subject ate cookies but didn't drink milk. Thus, that is the only one with a significant occurrence

this question makes me want to eat an e coli cookie and hope i bleed out
