What I meant is that an “increase by 30%” means nothing without first knowing your individual base risk. If you have, say, a 1% risk of getting a certain type of cancer at some point in your life and it increases by 30%, you now have a 1.3% risk. I don’t know whether that’s enough of an argument to deny yourself the pleasure of a soft drink you like.
Which doesn’t mean anything without a base risk.
well its the second leading cause of death in the world, so…not low
