Since there is sooo much chat about sugar right now, we thought we'd answer it in a Rapid Response/Dear Laura/All of the Snacks mash up - so here it is, a bonus free podcast with my take on Emily O.\nFor paying subscribers, I go into a ton more depth in a Dear Laura post (dropping on Thursday) about the history of so-called ‘natural experiments’, what this study actually says, and Emily’s response. It’s a little less off-the-cuff than this conversation and digs into the nuance of how they reported the stats a bit more. If you're not yet a paying subscriber and want to read that, do the thing here.\nLet me know what you thought of the episode over in the comments at canihaveanothersnack.com.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/xe2TkTP2nJnunKn0wHQFONAI71G-SI4ak6yQKaOPg5E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zNjE5/NTJhNjU5MWEzZGUz/NjZmMjQwNjZmOTZi/YTExMy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
