Serious question: Are words like "may" ever used for conjecture that isn't directly correlation = causation?
this is a prime example of quackery
sensationalistic and vague, no studies cited, no explanation or results presented, just some fat shit actor throwing eggs into the garbage
vegans are completely retarded human beings, pretty much religion-tier, just ignore anything they dream up.
catchy slogan, guess im going to stop eating eggs now, thanks science
>>8092821
Looks like its blaming it on high cholesterol so it's just bullshit.

I agree with you but the mental image of a list of citations on a billboard is hilarious.
I just threw my eggs away and retweeted this thread

I thought Fox was redpilled on smoking actually being harmless. Guess not.
>>8092843
Now if people finally applied this standard to smoking and alcohol that'd be great. It's too bad abstaining from thing that aren't actually bad for you is the new religion.
>>8093610
you have to be a special kind of idiot to think breathing in a hot gas full of reactive organic molecules and their even more reactive radicals, right into your fucking lungs, on a daily basis (which is what smoking is for most idiots), is "harmless".

>Those participants who initially consumed the most eggs were found to be 38% less likely to develop diabetes than those who consumed the least eggs in the study — a difference between eating an average of about four eggs versus less than one egg per week. As noted in an article on the study in The Telegraph, the association between egg intake and diabetes risk stayed the same when factors such as physical activity levels, body-mass index, smoking status, and fruit and vegetable intake were taken into account
Unless something is proven to be poisonous like Benzene, all heath studies are bogus.
>>8092833
LOL'd. Yes, but vegans *are* stupid.
>>8092821
Are we talking high protein diet here? Jesus wept I despair at how these fuckers like this play with public science and health literacy. Like the trans fats thing. "High levels of trans fat consumption linked to disease onset. ITS A POISON!!!!" Its not a poison, just dont eat high level of fat you idiot fucks.

I've been eating three eggs a day for years and haven't had any problems.

When you think of a plausible mechanism for something to occur.
>>8093625
If perspectives like >>8093656 are taken into consideration regarding smoking and not just eggs then you'd be wrong. There are, contrary to popular perception, studies on smoking being harmless, just like there are studies on eggs being harmless. The campaign against the former has been so successful that you have people performing knee jerk reactions against it at this point.

I'd say staring at a billboard while driving on a highway increases your risk of serious harm by at least 20%

Safer to ignore it and keep eating eggs if you ask me, even if they are right

Some people seem to be perfectly fine with lying to people if they think it's for a greater good.
Vegans tell you meat will give you cancer and eggs give you diabetes for the same reason people put words in Trump's mouth to discourage you from voting for him.
The first group is trying to prevent mass extermination of animals and the latter thinks they are preventing mass extermination of Muslims, Mexicans, homosexuals and preventing world war 3

What is this plebeian meme of comparing with two different words: "validity" and "propaganda"? It can be valid and "just propaganda", it can be invalid and not a propaganda, etc. Your question is already retarded in the first place, "Eggs cause diabetes?", /sci/ is shit.

>>8094532
People challenging other bullshit are I the minority too. Don't throw down an appeal to majority just so you can win an argument without attempting to dispute the very real science behind these claims and the deception behind some questionable research regarding how supposedly bad smoking truly is.
>>8092834
came here to post this
>>8094785
You seem to think I'm the same guy from earlier. I'm not in it to join the debate, I was simply popping in to mock others' useless word-of-mouth argument, because it's amusing to see people presenting emotional arguments that their habits are harmless.
>>8093736
lol man... you are obviously going to find studies showing it to be harmless. politics aside (and thats a big freebie for you there), simply variation in groups as well as experimental error is going to end up giving you a slew of different results.
ON AVERAGE, the effect is going to be harmful. Because you are fucking breathing in toxic organic compounds and their radicals. This is basic chemistry and you have to be dick-in-ears stupid to not understand the situation.
>>8094971
These are not so much emotional arguments as they are arguments analyzing studies that are blatantly reaching incorrect conclusions about the dangers of smoking.
>>8095067
Again, I was not responding to anyone who posted a study that had any real sources. I was responding to rhetorical whiny bullshit that contributes nothing to either side. Just like you are here!
>>8094982
>simply variation in groups as well as experimental error is going to end up giving you a slew of different results.
Fine, that's fair. But this isn't about a slew of different results, this is about studies against smoking being pointed out as dishonest. That can't be disputed. There's cherry picking on their end and there are rarely new studies on smoking due to fear of it being a health risk. It's like global warming hysteria.

The effect is going to be harmful to some people, yeah. But the effects are also overblown to a point where it's frankly Orwellian. Smoking is not linked to lung cancer, various other cancers, heart disease, a slew of other disease, and COPD/emphysema like often claimed by health "experts" yet society is now at a point where all of this is linked due to mass hysteria. As long as you idea of harm from smoking is a minor inconvenience, then I guess that's fine, because that's certainly possible. By the modern idea of harm is a lifestyle death sentence of carried out long enough.

Except it is, and the evidence is absolutely overwhelming, and by the way you don't use quotes when you talk about medical doctors and researchers.
>>8095908
The evidence is overwhelming but that doesn't mean the evidence is strong or particularly valid.
And I say "experts" because many of them, like the surgeon general, come across as not really honest.
I posted more here >>8095617

>>8095922
Overwhelming as in there's a shirt ton, but quite a bit of it is shitty.
>>8095920
Don't believe me? Look at the counter arguments for yourself, they're compelling.
What's even worse though is secondhand smoke; that's what people use as an excuse to ban it, even though it's harmless. Regardless of whether or not smoking causes cancer, SHS is what motivates people to first ban it from airplanes, workplaces, restaraunts, beaches, campuses...
>>8095929
Nigger, the smell alone is reason enough to ban it.
>>8096429
That's a pussy way of thinking though. Tire basically admitting it's more the smel that's the problem and not the fabricated health risks.
>>8096725
Pussy way of thinking? When did this become the end-all-be-all for whether or not doing something is a good idea? Go ahead and keep smoking you dumb non-pussy. Enjoy your non-pussiness while you can.

why are you baiting this hard, you aren't even getting any real rise out of anyone
sometimes i like to give intentionally fallible arguments some ironic credit but you're retarded either way you spin it
and if you're actually a smoker eating up this nonsense so you can justify your habit then i pity you because you are a slave to your addiction
>>8092850
> Looks like its blaming it on high cholesterol
Not specifically. The key to the commercial is when they claim vegan diets to be "low fat".
High fat intake, whether it be from red meat, dairy or eggs, has been linked to diabetes.
BUT (here's the kicker) in moderation, they're fine.
Health fads tried this in the 1980's with cholesterol and its link to heart disease. Turns out only about 10% of the population had this correlation.
The sad part is that eggs and bagels are an excellent source of folic acid, a necessary precursor for first trimester pregnancy. Many women in the 80's cut out eggs to be healthy, then ended up miscarrying.
>>8096761
> Inb4 folic acid is not a precursor, it's a coenzyme
Well fuck me up the ass with a burning cigarette.
Vegan knight back on duty.
>>8096734
Banning something because it smells strikes of nanny statism.
>>8096759
>why are you baiting this hard, you aren't even getting any real rise out of anyone
I'm getting a lot of people who refuse to consider the validity of the other side of an argument, is what it looks like. I've considered both sides, personally I see a lot more dishonesty from the WHO and Surgeon General than I do from those advocating smoking.
>sometimes i like to give intentionally fallible arguments some ironic credit but you're retarded either way you spin it
I don't see how pointing out studies in favor of smoking that most people do not ultimately see (due to bias and concealment) as a retarded thing.
>and if you're actually a smoker eating up this nonsense so you can justify your habit then i pity you because you are a slave to your addiction
I'm a nonsmoker eating up this "nonsense" because I don't believe in hysteria and I'm tired of seeing smokers get shit for their habit (which is a lot). Smoking is a staple of a ton of writing scenes and even science back in the day. Other countries like Japan love smoking and you don't see the kind of reaction the U.S.A seems to elicit from smoking fears.
