Diet fizz linked to heart attacks
 

Some what flawed research I see.

In other news today, those who step outside every day have a 70% greater chance of getting a suntan than those who do not.

Personally though I would rather read the study directly, rather than what was written about it.

there's a word DIE in DIET

Real sugar for me or nothing. :yeah:

Hey water is good. :smug:

Me, too. Then I'd also like to know who funded it, how, and why.

In a further study, living has been linked to a 100% chance of death, eating to crapping, and drinking to pissing. Meh

If that were true, I'd be dead by now.:dead:

LOL my sentiments entirely :DL

*looks at bottle of Coke Zero sitting on the desk next to him*

Well....bugger... :haha:

Hmm, another well-funded study in the vein of 'bad things are bad for you'. What will the tell us next; that cigarettes are unhealthy?

There is a issue with all this research...

Cry wolf enough times and we the public say...."Yea, yea been there".

How many times has there been research on chocolate? I lost count on how bad its for you, sorry good for you, no bad for you, hang on whats this...good for you.


There doing themselves no favour's and causing more harm than good.

Nope, the press are doing them no favor.

Example: Some research shows that people who eat peanuts daily are on average more healthy than people who do not. Generally some big news agency changes this into: "Eat more peanuts for your health". Next another research shows that people who eat peanuts have a higher probability to get cancer in their right thumb. And again the press distorts this into: "Peanuts cause cancer in your thumb, don't eat them!" That's all there is to it actually.
And that's why I can completely understand NeonSamurai when he says he'd rather read the study itself instead of these news stories.

a "carbonated drink" could also mean beer, champagne or cider - not astonishing that people who don't consume them live more healthy...

And people who think that a diet soda is actually healthy, should be syruped and feathered :DL

<-- colahlic here

Studies have shown evidence of Dihydrogen Monoxide in every single major illness patient.
