And I was watching the interview and he said, you know, they did this study where they had everybody drink either a liter of soda a day, a liter of diet soda a day, a liter of full fat milk or a liter of water. And in six months, the people drinking a liter of cola gained 10 kilograms. The group drinking the diet cola gained two kilograms.

And I can't remember the water or the full fat milk he said. I think they said they lost weight or whatever. And he said it was a study out of Copenhagen. So I'm like, all right, where can I find this thing? So I spent probably five hours trying to track down this study and finally found it because he mentioned it in a blog and I was able to find the original study.

And I'm like, so he either didn't read this study at all or... He fabricated the results. So, yes, it was a leader of those things. It was actually semi-skim milk. It wasn't full-fat milk. There was actually no differences between the groups in the amount of weight gain. Like the cola group gained the most weight, but it wasn't statistically significantly different from the other groups.

And actually, based on raw data, the group getting diet cola didn't gain the least amount of weight. It actually lost a little bit of weight. And I'm like... Millions of people heard this podcast and I was the first one to be like, so out of the millions, nobody went and fact-checked this.

No, you're not crazy. I think you just have to do the damn thing. And I think a lot of people, they want to make it about, well... This ingredient in food and this thing and this thing and this thing. And what they're avoiding is the inherent responsibility, the self-responsibility.

Because if I can make it sugar is toxic or if I can make it the food companies put addictive substances in this food or if I can make it the government made us – it's taking away my own – I don't have to be accountable for it. And I think the problem is if you're not, if you don't have any responsibility with it, then you don't have like, you're actually not in control of being able to fix it.

Yeah. And so when I look at the mortality data, cardiovascular disease, risk, cancer risk, there are a few major things that stand out and you can almost explain everything. the majority of the problems based on these things. The first is, the most powerful one is smoking, to be quite honest with you. Smoking is, it's just a very linear increase in risk.

But side note, if you want to know how easy it is to manipulate people with scientific research, I was reading a meta-analysis of adenocarcinoma incidents with smoking, right? And when you look at a meta-analysis, usually they'll include a force plot, which is going to show, you know, right of the line is this, left of the line is this.
