Keep your myths to yourself

Myth: People with cancer shouldn't eat sugar, since it can cause cancer to grow faster.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/in-depth/cancer-causes/art-20044714

Fact: Sugar doesn't make cancer grow faster. All cells, including cancer cells, depend on blood sugar (glucose) for energy. But giving more sugar to cancer cells doesn't speed their growth. Likewise, depriving cancer cells of sugar doesn't slow their growth.

This misconception may be based in part on a misunderstanding of positron emission tomography (PET) scans, which use a small amount of radioactive tracer ? typically a form of glucose. All tissues in your body absorb some of this tracer, but tissues that are using more energy ? including cancer cells ? absorb greater amounts. For this reason, some people have concluded that cancer cells grow faster on sugar. But this isn't true.

However, there is some evidence that consuming large amounts of sugar is associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, including esophageal cancer. It can also lead to weight gain and increase the risk of obesity and diabetes, which may increase the risk of cancer.

Yep. The experts said the Titanic was unsinkable, and in the fifties, they said that smoking was good for you.

Ah, the dreaded 'they'
The boogeymen of the paranoia-afflicted everywhere.

What 'experts' are you referring to? The real experts would be those who designed and built the ship, and if you read the news of the day 'practically unsinkable' was a term often used. Show us where the Titanic was actually advertised as being 'unsinkable'

Concerns about health re smoking started in the thirties and in retaliation, tobacco companies enlisted doctors as spokesmen. Big full-colour ads filled magazines with glowing endorsements from the 'men in white'.

" White Star Line Vice President P.A.S. Franklin announced ? We place absolute confidence in the Titanic. We believe the boat is unsinkable.?

I note you said nothing about smoking causing cancer.

Franklin 'announced' that
I asked for actual advertising.
There might be a legal thing involved

He was trying to fill the cabins
He was hardly going to say 'this thing might sink'
Call it 'snakeoilmanship'

You didn't ask about cancer re cigarettes

Watch the weasel  :'(

The "logic" is mindblowing. A public statement from the White Star Line Vice President, who was "trying to fill the cabins", somehow doesn't qualify as advertising..... Go figure!

Why? They were only trying to fill cabins, right?
