You Just Cannot Win ...

[I cannot think of a name]

Living has now been associated with cancer,

[TexasFreeper2009]

yeah it’s weird ... no matter what you do... you still die... it’s almost like we are mortal or something :)

*all things in moderation*

[DTogo]

Back to drinking the vodka straight...

[Jeff Chandler]

How about fruit juice popsicles?

[boop]

I can buy fruit juice increasing cancer risk in diabetic patients, since it’s loaded with sugar. But vegetable juice? No way.

[Paradox]

Juice is a processed food.

[SandRat]

A study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association shows fruit juice increases the risk of developing the cancer when comparing people drinking the most versus the least amount of fruit juice.

Researchers believe it’s because fruit juices are low in fiber and often have added sugar.

Quick, send more juice to Nancy Pelosi, Stenny Hoyer, Harry Reed, and all the other Clymers in Congress!

[Average Al]

So now what, we should put horse apples in a blender? ;-)

[cripplecreek]

You’re doing it wrong.

[Joe Boucher]

Sort of got a laugh thinking of all those using fruit and veggie colonics

[RichInOC]

That end doesn’t drink.

[mowowie]

Ya know i really like fruit but for some reason i hardly ever eat or drink it.

Veggies? I eat a ton.
I’m waiting for next weeks study that says i’m about to die.

Coffee is good, coffee is bad.

Wine is good, wine is bad.

Sun is good, sun is bad.

And the latest — fruit juice is bad.

All these half-baked studies can drive you insane

[paudio]

Consumption of brassica vegetables (e.g., broccoli, cabbage) was associated with reduced incidence of proximal colon cancer. For distal colon cancer, both total fruit and vegetable intake and total vegetable intake appeared to decrease risk. Distal colon cancer risk was significantly decreased in association with intake of dark yellow vegetables and apples, although there was an increased risk for rectal cancer with consumption of fruit juice. Risk of proximal colon cancer and rectal cancer was not associated with intakes of total fruit and vegetable, total vegetable or total fruit.

The headline is rather misleading. The overall findings are still in favor of reducing the risk or no risk at all.

[de.rm]

Don't worry, too arbitrary to have any relevance, like most studies, they are only commissioned to prove a preconditioned outcome.

If still concerned just cut up some aloe leaf gel fresh from a leaf (I get it in the produce dept. $2/leaf , about 18").

You'll never have a problem with that end of your tube ever, guaranteed!

[dforest]

I heard Scotch does more to deter cancer than anything else.

[paul51]

stick with diet coke I suppose

[Oratam]

For those trying to up their fruit and
vegetable intake, juice might not be
a good solution . . .

It's now associated with . . .
rectal cancer.

Wah waaaah.

[coolbreeze]

Aren’t most of us grandfathered in? When I was born the sun was good for you, a dirty kid was a healthy kid, and 3 out of 4 doctors recommended Lucky Strikes.
