Having the munchies has consequences
the drug that makes people get the „munchies“ and eat more, increases risk of type 2 diabetes, heavily linked to people overweight? seems logical, at least.
Healthy snacks are key. Same with staying hydrated.
Binge eatting the unhealthy munchies, so yeee doesn’t surprise me at all.
Ha, I beat the statistic.
I don’t have diabetes, just fatty liver. Take that science!
/s
I mean this has to be due to people stuffing their face with junk food.
Twinkie intake goes up 650%, Doritos intake 345%, Diabeetus rates quadruple.
This is unpublished work scheduled to be pressented at a scientific conference and has not undergone peer review.
it seems to be based primarily on epidemiological data and patient reported cannabis use and appears to be cross sectional.
most epidemiological work is unable to demonstrate causal relationships. the only exception to this is with the use of mendelian randomization methods
[ Cannabis use does not impact on type 2 diabetes: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study (2021)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33580533//)
a cross sectional study compares populations of thc users to non users. a longitudinal study assesses the development of a condition in each individual over time.
[ Cannabis Use as Risk or Protection for Type 2 Diabetes: A Longitudinal Study of 18 000 Swedish Men and Women (2016)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27843955/)
„The present study suggests that there is no association between cannabis use and subsequent type 2 diabetes after controlling for age. To make more robust conclusions prospective studies, with longer periods of follow-up and more detailed information about cannabis use, are needed. “
The current aggregate of peer reviewed evidence on the topic, imo, does not support a causal association between thc use and t2d.
there are quite a few cross sectional studies in the past that even show mild negative correlations between thc use and t2d. perhaps when this analysis is actually out, it will influence conclusions in the other direction considering it has such a large sample size. but it is not out yet.
“Despite the important findings, this is a retrospective study and cannot prove that cannabis use causes diabetes, and the authors cannot rule out the possibility that other unmeasured factors may have influenced the results despite efforts to reduce confounding bias via propensity score matching. This study has limitations due to a lack of detailed cannabis consumption data and potential misclassification”.
This is precisely why such studies should be encouraged and people should be able to openly report usage without negative consequence.

It’s the snackrifice
I wonder what we could have learned about this drug if we treated it as a medication instead of using it to desensitize entire generations and wage a war on drugs.
I already have diabetes, if I continue to consume cannabis will I develop super diabetes?
Say it with me now: *correlation does not imply causation*
Wait. Wait. We’re supposed to see DOCTORS!?
From it by itself or from munchies?
I’ve lost 11kg since starting cannabis. I think mostly because I lost the desire to drink, so even with the munchies I’m consuming less sugar/alcohol. But I can also see it causing an increase in appetite and decrease in motivation to be mobile, which for those who don’t drink to begin with could lead to weight gain and the associated insulin resistance and diabetes risks.
Definitely cuz your appetite skyrockets
Lmao classic munchies
Frequency of use, average THC level, daily eating habits, and daily activity/exercise levels need to be factored in to studies like this.
Did you know, they make a shaker container full of ground up Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Then you can sprinkle that on top of your Cinnamon Toast Crunch….
Who knew weed gave you the propensity to eat lots of unhealthy stuff as a side effect…
Munchies
Corellation doesn’t mean causation
It’s the munchies you eat after you smoke.
Yeah, cause we’re sitting here crushing two pints of Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia while we’re all gummed up on the couch. Worth it.
When people have munchies they don’t typically munch on celery sticks
Yeah, much more prone to eating lots of sweets. However, this data set is bad so just totally ignore this article.
Science has officially discovered „the munchies.“
I call bullshit
Who paid for this study ? Really
The A.i. has gone bonkers
So will sugared drinks,
They didn’t even perform an independent study, they literally cherry picked publicly available data and are misrepresenting the findings.
Yup they try to link it to everything…. do beer now.
Yeah, probably cause of the munchies
Is this the Onion?
As I have deep mistrust with our corporate owned politicians I suspect that this is laying some misinformation groundwork for all the diabetes cases increasing now. It CANNOT be the corn syrup and sugar in everything so shift the blame to weed.
