Soda and junk food in moderation won’t kill you. There isn’t really a safe dose of tobacco. You can be very healthy and enjoy a Coke from time to time. Health isn’t about always avoiding junk — it’s about balance and moderation.
- et2o 7y agoHonestly you could make the exact same argument about cigarettes - until about 5-10 pack years (pack/day for year) there is no increased cancer risk. The problem is that people don’t smoke only one cigarette once a month or eat junk food once s month.
- jghn 7y agoDo you have a source on that? This article seems to disagree with your statement: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2865193/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2865193/

- SamReidHughes 7y agoYes, but cigarettes are much more addictive.
- catalogia 7y agoI'd be curious to see what the stats actually are. What proportion of smokers are occasional smokers, and what proportion of soda drinkers are occasional soda drinkers? I would not expect similar distributions.
