The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
he made an observation which was solidified that cancer cells continued to do a ancient fermentation metabolism even in the presence of oxygen
because we know of no cancer that has normal respiration but when you grow them in culture people say yeah they have normal respiration so the evidence for that is that they're all fermenting we haven't found the cancer that doesn't ferment
you know most cancers uh eat differently than other cells they ferment glucose rather than you know burning you know breaking it down and burning with oxygen oxidative phosphorylation
the surprising thing and what we now call the warburg effect is that the cancer cells had oxygen and they were still turning to fermentation you know what we call aerobic glycolysis
Whole-body MRI screening in healthy adults produces more incidentaloma harm than cancer-mortality benefit.
Starting colonoscopy screening at 45 (vs 50) prevents enough early-onset cancers to justify the population cost.
Multi-cancer liquid-biopsy tests like Galleri detect early cancers at a stage that meaningfully improves survival.
