> Data from 90,504 postmenopausal women, aged 50 to 79, over nearly 19 years of follow up [... showed that] women who consumed at least one sweetened drink per day were 73% more likely to develop liver cancer than women who had three or fewer sweet drinks a month. Women who drank one or more sweet beverages daily had a 78% higher risk, according to the data.
Ok, so there's a big difference between 0.1 per day and 1.0 per day, but more than that is almost negligible. No control for other lifestyle factors, though I'm sure we could confirm this even approximately with self-reported activity measurements.
- sentirist 4y agoIt is embarrassing to me we fund shit science like this. Surely, someone who eats chocolate cake everyday day also has health issues compared to those who do not because of the correlation with poor lifestyle choices that someone who eats chocolate cake everyday is bound to have. How many people eat a good diet, exercise regularly and have a non-diet coke everyday? Basically no one.
