Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
well there's some that are well known I mean the diabetes risk and I've seen up to three hundred and sixty-three percent relative increasing risk with diabetes diabetes may not come that's quite a significant absolute risk as well like three two or three percent increase in risk

if you look in some of the studies the risk for diabetes and cancer in some of the studies that we talk about here that we site is pretty is like relatively uh decent risk
