WTAF? This sentence directly contradicts what you say in your article, namely "the overall plant-based diet was associated with a 26% reduction in the risk of pancreatic cancer compared to an animal-based diet."

This entire article, from title to conclusion, is a giant bait and switch.

If you were being honest, the title would have been, "A vegan diet reduces your risk of pancreatic cancer." You could have added, "A healthy plant-based diet reduces your risk of pancreatic cancer even more than an unhealthy plant-based diet, but any plant-based diets reduce your risk of pancreatic cancer compared to an animal-based diet."

Instead, you stop talking about the higher risk of pancreatic cancer for animal eaters, and concentrate on telling us that it is "more important to eat a healthy plant-based diet than simply a plant-based diet." Well, no shit, Sherlock. Eating a healthy diet is better than a non-healthy diet. Who could have riddled that one out? Next your going to ruin my day by telling me broccoli is healthier than a handful of sugar cubes.

Bottom line is that people only reading the headline, as most people only do, would lead one to think that a vegan diet is riskier for pancreatic cancer than an animal-based diet. Wrong.

I wish I could give this article 50 un-claps for being a piece of disengenous garbage.
