The actual findings will be very cool to see.
Words like "16 times" and "4 times" sound so HUGE! After all, 4 times a million dollars is, well, LOTTO worthy... but 4 times 1 cent = 4 cents.

The correct way to look at is this: If you buy a second lottery ticket, you have increased your chances of winning by 100%. Not that your chances are 100% (absolute risk), just that your one in a million is now two in a million (comparative risk). That is how they scare the public. Even if they could prove a 30% increase in lung cancer from SHS, it still isn't shit.

and in other news, more than 30 years after widespread release, the artificial sweetener has once again been found to be harmless.

Why is it when study after study shows second hand smoke is harmless but doesn't get reported. It's like the governments health care plan is not working or works very poorly, it's not getting widely reported either. I guess you call it selective reporting.

also - reporting that something doesn't have an effect isn't as sexy as saying "millions will die".

Did someone mention sin, or was that Mencken's definition of Puritanism?

alar was pulled from the market so that might be why you don't here from it
sometimes things don't get reported becuase they aren't newsworthy, but car chases, celebs in rehab, atheletes caught with their pants around their knees and cats playing pianos are newsworthy. I am not syaing it is right, it is the way the media work,
