I fully agree that was voodoo science used. That was medical not science.

Science starts out and see's what happens. They started out to prove a
point.

How do you know this? Did you read the study? I did, and you're full of baloney.

Very interesting. How many died? How many got cancer? How
many smoked ? ........ How many lived next to a Nuke power plant ? How
many lived near a pipeline ? How many drank Booze ? how many smoked pot
and how many ...other drugs.

Instead of pulling answers out of your ass, Martin, you'd do better to read the study first. Then see if you have a disagreement with the methodology, the statistics, or the conclusions:

"After adjustments for age, sex, education (for analysis of dementia), caloric intake, diet quality, physical activity, and smoking, higher recent and higher cumulative intake of artificially sweetened soft drinks were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, all-cause dementia, and Alzheimers disease dementia. When comparing daily cumulative intake to 0 per week (reference), the hazard ratios were 2.96 (95% confidence interval, 1.26€“6.97) for ischemic stroke and 2.89 (95% confidence interval, 1.18€“7.07) for Alzheimers disease. Sugar-sweetened beverages were not associated with stroke or dementia.


We pay for junk studies all of the time.

You tell 'em...

Ed -
The study was for xxxxx. It wasn't a study on the effects or workings
of this additive.
When you start out a research that defines the goal it tends on proving
that and nothing else. We in Physics are taught to roll the dice and
see what happens. They load the dice.
