What an insane headline.

First meta data analysis.

Second, “This current research has shown, yet again and consistent with prior research … that to achieve health gains it is best to avoid or minimize the habitual consumption of each of processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and industrially produced trans fatty acids (TFAs),”

So don't eat a ton of shit every day. Got it. The CNN version of super size me propaganda rage bait.

You're shitty at science and spreading propaganda. Feel bad about yourself.
