So soda and junk food may not be that bad...Scientific study finds.

[anon_x731qvsnsyb8i]

As I said before, Science is a method of quantifying our universe, it is NOT a belief system. You can only believe in what science has FOUND.

That said, science has found in the past that Junk food and Soda were BAD BAD BAD.

Now Science is saying..."Well, maybe not so bad". This is along the lines of the famous egg-cholesterol incident in the past where science found one thing, then found another. Or, the famous marijuana findings in the 70s that reinforced it's schedule 1 drug status, only to be refuted recently by medical studies...and science.

As someone that has participated in actual scientific research, I immediately stop listening to anyone that says "I believe in science" because it means they don't actually know what science is.

I read the linked article. The research was done by asking people to voluntarily admit what they ate over two particular days. A couple of factors that appear to have been left out as the conclusion is drawn:

1. As the article/research indicates, they completely left out activity/exercise and the impact that has to offset the detrimental effects of junk food.

2. Could it be that morbidly obese people (as the article refers) are shameful about what they've eaten and, thus, understated the harmful foods they ate (either in frequency or quantity)?

Thus proving another scientific study. Most research is open to omissions and bias.
