a word of advice, you're being too straightforward for your username. try to be a little more acerbic and weird when you post. for instance, I personally like to add SCREEEREETETETEEEE sounds to my posts sometimes, to remind everyone that I'm a raccoon
on topic, yeah everybody should drink water, that's pretty much the only "new" "takeaway" from this "study." I mean, the article is literally "sugar is bad," everybody ought to know this
It ain't hard to understand. Processing/Refining foods in ways that strips them of certain nutrients and concentrates others causes ill health.
"Eat whole foods. Not too much. Mostly plants." Words to live well and long by.

I think the studies are well intended to help us make healthier choices... But almost all of these studies are filtered through a lens of reporting, and then filtered again through a lens of social media / link sharing / etc... To the point that the original message gets distorted into something alarmist, and extreme, and then concluded with something that the original study never concluded with ... e.g., "Just drink water."
"Excessive consumption of sugary drinks – including juice – associated with cancer" ->
"Study finds sugar in fruit juice may raise risk of cancer" ->
"Study finds fruit juice may raise risk of cancer" ->
"Juice causes cancer" ->
"Just drink water"
...
We gradually distill these studies down into messages that the studies themselves never suggest. It's not nefariously motivated but there's some innate desire to boil everything down into an easy to understand, but not scientifically endorsed, message.
Pretty much. You start with "too much sugar consumption will make you fat, which is a known risk factor in developing cancer" and eventually your headline becomes "Fruit juice, specifically, leads to cancer development!"
It's really really simple you guys... Sugar is bad, sugar is killing you, reduce the amount of sugar you consume. Juice is just a headline clickbait title when it really is as simple as "Sugar = bad".
Fruit juices are almost always sweetened, and even those that aren't, are concentrated and remove all of the healthy pulp/food part. An apple is infinitely better for you than apple juice.

It's simple, really. Just don't eat anything. Or drink anything. And don't move, just to be safe. Just stand perfectly... still. Until death takes you.
I'm gonna die of something
Bad day to post something from him (every day is but still)

This is a weak and anti-intellectual statement. It's how anti-vaxxers and 'truthers' justify ignoring facts.
I get that a lot of people are being hyperbolic, but again... nearly every one of these "X food will give you cancer" statements has to do with sugar, and avoiding too much of it which is something everyone should be aware of at this point in their lives.
SO does the article actually mention the degree it causes cancer? Like it takes cooking Vegetable oil over 15 minutes to become an actual risk factor for cancer while olive oil needs to be cooking for over 40 minutes to be come a risk factor.
Without menttioning the degrees the article is useless and we would have to read the study if we even can since they are usually paywalled.

Cancer is just nature's way to keep us from living too long. If we eliminated all other diseases, illnesses, and ways to die somehow, we would still have cancer to keep us in check. The body is just not meant to last that long.
All linked to cancer in some form....especially alcoholic drinks.
Of course...lol

The harvard research that most of these articles is based on. That's the easy version to digest, the original studies are available if you look around as well if you want to get into the nitty gritty.
I used to drink a fuck load of this when I was a student. Like, 3 or 4 cartons a week.
Fuck and here I am just learning that caprisun is a great substitute for soda so I can lay off of that... and now I'm going to get cancer from it 😞 I'm just trying to be healthy
All these studies point too every thing we eat increases cancer risk, my father died from prostate cancer, my future is bright :(
Orange Juice denies the allegations of this kangaroo science report and wishes to announce it will be releasing a book soon entitled:
"If I Caused Cancer"
Agree to disagree. You can't get cancer when u r dead. Checkmate.
That's cool thanks.Sugary Drinks

I already see an important distinction I wasn't grasping before.
Initially thought this included natural drinks. Now I wonder how my homemade lemonade stacks up.
