“If this was true then my chance of dying from a heart attack is somewhere in the neighborhood of 30,000% by now.”
When I was in high school, I drank 4 -6 pints of cola per day. When I was in my mid-50’s I started having problems with lack of stamina, shortness of breath and chest pains. I think it wasn’t until the 4th stress (treadmill) test that my erratic heartbeat was finally detected by a doctor.
I had 3 arteries that were 95+% plugged and had 3 stents installed in 2009.
I believe it was all that sugar in the pop that messed me up...
I’ve had my arteries checked thrice.
All clear.
I have heart issues, but those are inherited. Granpa and dad both had heart attacks at young age.
And remember, not so long ago, butter would kill you dead dead dead, eat margarine (hydrogenated fat) to live forever. Now, hydrogenated fat will kill you dead dead dead.
And, more than 2 eggs a week would kill you dead dead dead. Now, a couple eggs a day is fine.
And, the current Narrative is soda pop is evil and people shouldn’t be allowed to have it, ala New York’s bossman. Therefore, “studies” must be produced to back that up.
Trusting “studies” these days is its own kind of stupid.
What is this “pop” of which you speak? Could you possibly mean soda?
Cholesterol clogs arteries. Sugar contains 0 cholesterol.
