Don't you just love statements like "and canned and frozen fruit appeared to increase risk of death by 17% per portion" - I could be dead by nightfall.
I do look forward to a proper statistical analysis of these results rather than this tabloid nonsense. It will be interesting to see if there is actually any measurable impact above (say) just some fruit or vegetable intake per day.
- NoPiece 13y agoThis seems pretty sloppy, "The survey did not distinguish between canned and frozen fruit..."
- will_work4tears 13y agoYeah, frozen fruit (and veggies) are often better quality than fresh.
- sitkack 13y agoYour risk of death is already, probably really really low, so increasing it by 17% isn't going to kill _you_. It will kill the other you out in statistics land, which could actually be me, so do a bro a favor and watch what you eat.
- saalweachter 13y agoTo clarify what I think you're saying: It's a percent of a percent. So if you have a 0.004% chance of dying on any given day, and you increase this by 100%, then you have a 0.008% chance of dying. Not a 100.004% chance.
- sitkack 13y ago100% !
- EliRivers 13y agoA LOT more than 17%. I have to hit someone really hard with a fresh banana to kill them, but a tin of peaches makes the job a dream :)
