This is a exceptionally well written, and cited, review of medical literature - the strength of research, and everything! It has references!

If your interested in the food cancer link, here is a great place to start.

TLDR - Sugar is pretty bad for you, Fructose is pretty bad for you, Seed oils are pretty bad for you... ASF and Fat has been vilified for the evil sugar and processed food have done.

The article was written by a MD, and reviewed by another MD. Every claim cites direct papers. Please feel free to be skeptical and verify everything, just don't be dismissive.

Is everything we eat associated with cancer? A systematic cookbook review

Associations with cancer risk or benefits have been claimed for most food ingredients. Many single studies highlight implausibly large effects, even though evidence is weak. Effect sizes shrink in meta-analyses.

This is the core weakness of observational studies, if you slice your data, you can find an association with ANYTHING!!!!!
