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 raccoonYes. These studies are meant to help us make healthier choices, but they instead appear to engender apathy and reinforce unhealthy behavior because people think that "everything causes cancer."
As OP said, just drink water. Is that so hard?
Yes. These studies are meant to help us make healthier choices, but they instead appear to engender apathy and reinforce unhealthy behavior because people think that "everything causes cancer."
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.
when they say fruit juice, are they talking about "fruit juice" like fanta? otherwise, whouldn't this also mean that eating fruits causes cancer as well?
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.Pretty sure at this point they can work up a study to make it show that virtually anything will give you cancer.
This is a weak and anti-intellectual statement. It's how anti-vaxxers and 'truthers' justify ignoring facts.Pretty sure at this point they can work up a study to make it show that virtually anything will give you cancer.
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.
Well, I'll still stick to my Tropicana Orange Juice. I have a difficult time avoiding it.
That's cool thanks.Sugary Drinks

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.
