Add to this the fact that current best evidence - based on a systematic review from 2018 - suggests that sugar is not independently linked to cancer It just makes the story seem even sillierpic.twitter.com/xYgM5MJQiK

It's all a bit ridiculous, makes you wonder if anyone actually read the study before reporting on it
