- comfypotato 3y agoThis is a big deal. The study concludes that it makes you twice as likely to die from CVD. Normally it’s not a big deal when the chance of death doubles, because it normally starts at a tiny percent, but CVD is one of the leading causes of death!
- psychphysic 3y agoThe controls might be reasonable but if you eat 200g of added sugar a day (not even total sugar) that's insane.
- terribleperson 3y agoI looked up some numbers to check and 200g of sugar is an enormous amount. A dozen Krispy Kreme donuts a day doesn't get you there. The only likely way someone is consuming that much sugar while not being overweight is if they constantly drink soda. Unfortunately, that's a decent chunk of the population - some googling comes up with 5%.
- psychphysic 3y agoYikes. I don't think anyone would consider themselves healthy if they are that much. Research is always important but it's not always interesting...
