Fruit juice may raise risk of cancer, study finds
- Thread starter Sqrt
- Start date
Yea, but sugar free diet drinks are their own can of unhealthy worms and should be avoided as well.
Just go see how much sugar it has in it..?
They didn't exactly put the juices through a spectrometer.
Until we're fucked from that too.

Oh I'm aware of the high sugar content but I was under the impression that "fruit sugar" would be different from the cane sugar/corn syrup added to some drinks as far as cancer risk goes.Sometimes the two are indistinguishable because of how they manipulate labeling. Apple juice, for example is already incredibly high in sugar, on par with most sodas.
(see 22g of sugar per 8oz)
(26 grams per 8oz)
That's just apple juice of course, but let's check something like Cranberry juice. Cranberries have very low sugar levels surely 100% juice there should be really low on sugar right?
28g of sugar despite having zero added sugar... because they can call it 100% juice while also adding other much heavier sugar content juices to sweeten it up (in this case, adding Grape, apple, and pear juices which all contain a ton of sugar naturally)
So a low sugar fruit like cranberries end up in a 100% juice with more calories than a can of coke...
Sugar free diet drinks are a lot healthier than sugared ones. While it's true that studies have shown a number of negative side effects from them (if you drink non-sugar sweeteners, you're more likely to have cravings for sweet things than someone who gives it up entirely) the amount of artificial sweetener you need to consume is much much greater.
Sugary Drinks
Sugary drinks (also categorized as sugar-sweetened beverages or “soft” drinks) refer to any beverage with added sugar or other sweeteners (high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, fruit juice concentrate…

Artificial sweeteners are hundreds of times more effective per gram at sweetening than sugar is, so you ingest only tiny fractions of it compared to sugar.
Nah, once your body breaks it down sugar is sugar. Your insulin is still effected the same, your bodies ability to use and store it is the same.
You stopped eating fruit? No fruit at all? Last I checked that was not recommended by nutritionists.

The anti-science, exggerated, drive-by posts are exhausting and ruin any chance of discussion. Suggest to people that they change a minor aspect of their life in order to reduce the risks of disease and you get pages of dumbass comments. But hey, Era is such an enlightened place that openly accepts science, and not like those stupid antivaxxers and climate change denier shitheads, right?
Fructose is the same no matter where you get it from, and yes as others have alluded to it is essentially a liver toxin.
Yeah, sugar in general is just a killer over the long haul, and its in everything from fruits, fruit beverages to bread.
Eliminate that shit out of your diet as much as possible for as long as possible.
Shit, i don't even put honey in my tea anymore. Keeps the sweets off my plate.

what if some studies finds that milk may raise risk of cancer....i mean, it's just a matter of time.
That's the problem, it's not a minor aspect of people's life because according to a lot of reports, people would need to completely reshape the way they eat, removing food they like from their diets in large parts. A lot of people actually enjoy eating and don't want to transform it as yet another chore you have to do.
As for the second part of your post, it's completely disingenuous to compare antivaxxers and climate change denier to people in this thread. The clear difference is that the first two actually don't believe what is reported, while the other do believe what's being said. There's nothing anti science about that.
Eating her pussy might give you throat-cancer. Maybe eating her ass will cure it but i doubt it.
To be fair here we're talking about the food sciences one of the most notorious regarding public amendments and alterations to recommended dietary requirements. My sister worker at an institute of food science as a researcher and she's well aware of the infamy the discipline has and the reason why it gets such reactions.
Can't remember the last time I drank fruit juice from a carton must be 10-15 years. I've had fresh orange juice once or twice a year when I've had some oranges leftover and didn't have a use for them. I eat plenty of fruit though, if by some chance high consumption of kiwis, pears, bananas and pineapple caused cancer - I'm fucked, deliciously.
I'm sure it'll be fine. I know the list of things that make us more vulnerable to cancer seems to grow every week, but if you spend your whole life avoiding things other people say is dangerous then you'll never have any fun.
The study is about epidemiology and public health. Anyone bringing up food science is doing themselves a disservice.
I wish public education would put more effort into teaching probability theory.
Your expecting, the casual readers looking to be more informed about their diet to understand the difference?
That's going from expecting people to be pro science to be expecting them to be competent within the subject area. That's a pretty high expectation there.

Veganism is linked to lower bone density and higher risk of fractures....
Literally everything any diet, food, drink, lifestyle will be linked to some risk. Its about being sensible and making balanced choices.
Ultimately if fruit juice raises your cancer risk then so does fruit. And higher sugar vegetables. Eating an orange means ingesting the same amount of sugar as drinking one squeezed.
