tl;dr its the pesticides on the vegetables, not the vegetables themselves

Good thing I live on hot dogs and macaroni and cheese! Suck it!
*her.
Doubt I would taste good, too much processed cheese product. :3
Hot dogs have gone up in price so much I'll stick to just mac and cheese.
100% of people die having had at least 64oz of water in their lifetime. Stop drinking water! Seriously though, this article is 10/10 on the bullshit meter. The "research" link is to a annual meeting. There is no evidence that the "more likely" status is meaningful, and there are no receipts in the article that can be verified.
Jokes on you, I cut my whole grains in half one by one before eating them

Why "may"? If they have insufficient data to assert a statement, then is it just as useful to state that it "may not"? So, fruit and veggie consumption may not influence early onset lung cancer.
Because they have enough data to form a hypothesis that requires more research to confirm. Even if you leave the "may" out it'd be very vague because we don't know what exactly causes the cancer. Pesticides on vegetables is just their best guess and even if that's correct, which ones exactly? It might also be something else entirely that happens to correlate with a veggie heavy nutrition but has little to do with the vegetables themselves.
Uncertainty isn't a bad thing.
A lot of times, studies have results that aren't specific or rigorous enough to be definitive, but they can still point the way to how a more conclusive study might be conducted. Just part of the scientific process.
