Unbelievable

WBX just carried a report about a study showing that students who drink three or more sugary sodas a week have a higher incidence of violence by several measures. Who the hell approves the money for studies, and who are the supposed scientists who do not understand that co-occurrence is not cause? How does someone even show their face at conferences with this kind of crap? The people who have trouble delaying gratification in life are going to be more violent, drink more sugary sodas, have more ill-considered sex, tailgate the driver in front of them, study less, and have poorer general life outcomes. I'll tell you that for free, and so will anyone who sits and thinks about this for longer than it takes to drink a Tazo China Green Tips.

But don't you know about the crusade against sugary sodas?

That makes it obvious...

What's even more obvious is that violence and casual sex cause diabetes by inspiring children to drink soda. Also that conferences cause cognitive disability.
