Use "may" and you can say anything.
I'm skeptical. Correlation does not equal causation. I suspect soda consumption is correlated with other behaviors which cause problems.

Quote: Correlation does not equal causation
This is so true and it is astonishing how often this fact is lost. I once saw someone demonstrate the fallacy of equating the two by writing that there is a correlation between the amount of organic food consumed and incidence rate of autism in children. Sure enough, the graphs of the two are quite similar but does anyone really think there is a causal relationship between the two?

It's OK. That's just a link to a joke/satire site. No need for shame, discontent or anything like that.

professional researchers are aware that correlation does not equal causation
Drinking sugary drinks may be associated with greater risk of death | American Heart Association[^]
Quote: The researchers observed this effect when they statistically made the participants equal with respect to income, race, education, smoking history and physical activity. When they controlled for known heart disease risk factors such as total calorie consumption, high blood pressure, abnormalities in blood lipids or body weight, the effect remained.

The notion that you can retroactively control for risk factors is absurd, especially when using studies designed to look at something entirely different.
It's quite obvious that they manipulated the numbers until they got the result they wanted.

A can of soda per day is cheaper than having to save up for retirement.

And now you owe me a can of soda.

A new high-quality keyboard is only $110-150-ish, check out DAS keyboards[^]. I've been using their 4-Ultimate for awhile and it hasn't caused me any issues

If you think that{s cheap, you should try havig a stroke. In all it cost the insurance about 0.5MM$

Quote: Some cities, including Seattle, have introduced controversial "soda tax" plans that raise the sales tax on the drinks in an effort to discourage consumption. This explains the problems of Windows 10.

Following Mark Zuckerberg's apology for millions of Facebook users having their data exploited, Cybersecurity expert, Dr. Daniel Dresner, writes that it isn't the technology we should be worrying about, but the people creating and using these tools instead. Whoever's not in the room when the problem is discovered?

Today we released our first public preview of Blazor, a new experimental .NET web framework using C#/Razor and HTML that runs in the browser with WebAssembly. I still think it sounds like a bad 70s metal band
Needs an umlaut though.
