As an old, I never heard of anyone getting pancreatic cancer when I was young.

Then all of a sudden pancreatic cancer is something that everyone gets.

Correlation is not causation, but there is correlation.

Well, part of that is also because we know more about pancreatic cancer now, enough to call it that. Just because diagnoses goes up does not necessarily mean that rate is going up.

Yeah, and the world around you and the food that is consumed and human knowledge and medicine have all changed as much as you have, probably even more.

Your take on this is ignoring all of that.

And thanks to soil depletion, also less nutritious in regards to minerals. Still great for fiber, though.

Kale is a lot better for fiber.

Fun fact: HFCS is identical to honey, to the point that many honey manufacturers will add some because it is cheaper and impossible to detect.

Ewwww. You’re saying I’ve been having honey coke all these years? Yuck!!!
