I would love to see where the funding for this study came from - a 35% increase of risk is not a statistically significant amount.

This means absolutely bumpkiss, except to the food police who will use it to further pound on the "obesity epidemic" or whatever it is they are calling it this week.

"The research was funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK and the International Agency for Research on Cancer."

I'm not familiar with these. Perhaps a British freeper can comment. It's an important point. Many of these food studies do seem to be funded by interested parties on one side or the other.
