2024-08-17 14:23:54 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

The idea that cancer thrives in an acidic body environment caused by certain foods is false. Cancer development and progression are complex processes influenced by many factors, and simplifying it to body acidity is not accurate based on available research. https://mnoncology.com/resources/blog/acid-alkaline-balance-and-cancer-the-truth-behind-the-myth https://www.nebraskamed.com/primary-care/science-and-the-alkaline-diet-can-alkaline-foods-cure-cancer https://www.aicr.org/resources/blog/another-cancer-and-diet-claim-the-alkaline-diet/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9365077/ https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2023/08/16/sugar-and-cancer-what-you-need-to-know/ https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/new-harvard-tool-helps-fact-check-cancer-claims-202204272735

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1824789528852176954

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
