Have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure-grain alcohol?

No.

Not because I don’t care or I’m interested.
You never mentioned it before around the dinner table.

The nice thing about how much sugar I consume is that there isn’t a lot of difference 99% of getting liver cancer and 99.5% of getting liver cancer.

You are right about that… liver failure is a a suffering matched by little else.

Harvard has lost all credibility. They churn out left wing, America hating, mask wearing paranoid pansies.

I never make it to the dinner table because I drink my breakfast and lunch….

My distilled alcohol is at least aged. I wonder what nutrients are extracted from an oak barrel....

Hehehe. The older I get, the less I care. I have made my peace with God and accepted Jesus as my savior. Life is good, despite the evil demon democrats, but I have great comfort knowing I have faith, and those evil demons live miserable lives and will never experience a single Plank instance of enjoyment or comfort.

It’s a little late for me to worry about it, since sugar sweetens my coffee and sweet tea every day. But I also drink lots of water, soooo..

Is there nothing that won’t kill you? I have the beginning of liver failure, but it’s not caused by sugary drinks. The good news is I got colitis later in life and I may die from old age before it fails

I feel the same way, I’m not scared to die.

These studies are just marketing schemes for either (Or both) corporations selling certain kinds of products and pharmaceutical companies. Also cash flow for the researchers/resume enhancers. We all die, genetics plays the biggest role in that.

Not world-wide medical community pier reviewed. As if I would ever trust any medical research opinion from anyone, ever again after the COVID plandemic solely to lay the process foundation to steal an election.

“I may die from old age before it fails”

Hmm . . . I’ve heard of “old age”. What causes it?

Yep, they never put out the exact number due to scare tactics.

Yep, and these “researchers” are playing the age-old game of citing percentages with no context. They never mention the absolute risk, which is tiny, nor the insignificant difference in that risk with or without sugar consumption. They do this with everything because scary percentages like “1.7 times higher risk” get everyone riled up and willing to shower them in more research funding.

Compared with intake of 3 or fewer servings of sugar-sweetened beverages per month, those who consumed 1 or more servings per day had a significantly higher risk of liver cancer (18.0 vs 10.3 per 100 000 person-years [P value for trend = .02]; adjusted HR, 1.85 [95% CI, 1.16-2.96]; P = .01) and chronic liver disease mortality (17.7 vs 7.1 per 100 000 person-years [P value for trend <.001]; adjusted HR, 1.68 [95% CI, 1.03-2.75]; P = .04).

These are very small numbers.

The surgeon general warned today that saliva causes stomach cancer. But apparently only when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time.

The risk odds are absurdly low.

207 out of 100,000 women developed liver cancer over a 20 year period.

That means the global middle age and elderly female risk for liver cancer was around 0.2% - a fraction of 1%.

7,000 women drank a sugar sweetened beverage every day.

Their risk for liver cancer was 2.1%.

If you really enjoy your sugar flavored drink each day, are you going to stop because of a 2.1% risk?

Unless you are obese, forget that noise!
