Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nick Hills" data-source="post: 979215" data-attributes="member: 179964">Typical scaremongering using percentages.  20% more likely to get bowel cancer.  20% of what? If  you use the figure from an absolute viewpoint i.e. you have a 5 in 100 chance of bowel cancer before these findings then a 20% increase means you have a 6 in 100 chance.  No significant increase at all.But 20% sounds scarier and justifies us doing the research and getting our grants of lots of money for nothing.</blockquote>
