A 1% increase in this substance in the blood is associated with a change in mortality risk similar to that of quitting smoking.

Decoder ring: they didn't do a real study, they scanned results from studies that were looking at other things and found some statistical blip about something else that probably doesn't hold water if you studied it for real so they use weasel words like "linked to" or "associated with".

Expect an opposite "association" to come out within a year or two.

That omega-3s are good for you has been known for a very long time. What is different here from most pop-science news articles is the acknowledgement that not all saturated fats are bad for you. Despite the BS about avoiding fat we’ve been told all our lives, fat is good for you, carbs and sugar are what is killing us with heart disease and cancer.

Your name “pepsi_junkie” is probably no lie. Sugary foods are addictive and hit our dopamine receptors hard and makes you hungrier and hangrier. Then the over consumption of sugar triggers a wide range of conditions including type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, arteriolosclerosis, fatty liver, and metabolic syndrome to name a few.
