"linked to" means they have a half assed non-clinical study that found some slight statistical indication of something. There is a reason why eggs were great, then they were poison, then they were great again. Because they were "linked" to stuff then "lined to" other stuff using flawed studies that were fake news.

Any time you see "linked to" you know it is not a clinical study, the scientific method was not followed, and it's at best a slight indication that maybe a real study should be done. At best.

Correlation is not causation

When studies find correlations, they never seem to just publish that. It seems there is always some huge leaps and inferences.
Does sugar cause cancer?
Do the subsequent insulin spikes cause cancer?
Is there another ingredient that typically accompanies a sweetened drink (such as a preservative) that causes cancer?
Are sugary drinkers more sedate and less health conscious?
...so on and so forth...
