    My uncle is slowly dying from pancreatic cancer thanks to irregular alcohol consumption. So yeah. Let’s not get pancreatic cancer or other such things. It’s painful. All you gotta do is not drink non foods like alcohol and not breathe non breathable gasses like smoke.

      Are they 100% sure it was booze? My uncle is slowly dying too from pancreatic cancer and part of the theory is if he wasn’t drinking beer it was diet cokes.

        Ah yes, aspartame and the other magic sugars. Yup those could be culprit. That’s also a reason to not drink soda. My kids definitely don’t drink soda unless I offer. They think it tastes bad. Somehow momma and I figured out how to parent that vice out. Maybe for good, maybe for bad, what if they pick it up later in life and then it’s much worse. My wife got her gall bladder removed and supposedly she has to have some sort of soda during a meal to be able to properly digest it. Supposedly. I hate the Coca-Cola company and the Starbucks company. Both are making money off me when I really don’t want to give it to them via having my partner addicted to their shit they sell.
