And some gullible idiot will tell me one day soon how horrible a person I am for eating that stuff, "don't you know that it will give you cancer?" ROFL.
I don't know how many times I have been told that with some other 10 yrs research of something or other, i.e. coffee.
I tell them God made it, I eat it. In moderation.
The numbers sound scary, but experts say this added risk is relatively small when you factor in overall pancreatic cancer rates in the general population. According to the National Cancer Institute, 13.6 per 100,000 U.S. men develop pancreatic cancer, compared with 10.7 pancreatic cases per 100,000 women. The researchers also said smoking is a bigger risk factor, which increases pancreatic cancer risk by 74 percent.
13.6 per 100,000? 0.0136%; Statistically zero. Even less for women.
They don't say how many of those were smokers, but my guess it is pretty high.
How many people were in the study? 100, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 what? In a group of 10,000 you would expect 1-2 people to get it according to the numbers. If 3 or even 4 people got it, I can't see how it would be statistically significant. It's just too small a sample size given the rate of occurrance.
