For me, it completely messed up my whole-word and multi-word reading by shape. Like, I don't read by syllable because I'm not pronouncing the words, I'm just reading the meaning of the whole word directly from the shape of the whole word (or several words), if that makes sense?
Like, when I'm reading, my inner monologue is only "saying" a handful of key words in each sentence, as it fluidity skips over "mentally pronouncing" all the filler/context words.
This completely breaks that. It splits each word into two chunks, neither of which is the word, so I need to show down to "mentally say" both chunks of each word to read them. Like, it's still fast, I guess, but I'd estimate it slows me down by ⅓-½ish and disrupts my reading comprehension significantly.
I assume that if I read like that for a few hours, I'd likely get used to it, but why bother?
On the other hand, I think that could be a great reading tool, I imagine especially for people with dyslexia, but probably most fluent but slow readers.
Exactly. Studies like these are great, but this doesn't mean veganism reduces cancer risk at all. It could be, for example, that vegans tend to be careful about their intake of macro- and micronutrients, and/or that vegans tend to exercise more, and/or that vegans tend to eat less fast food/processed food, and/or that vegans tend to be more affluent and thus seek/get better medical care, and/or (etc.)
It's most definitely not as simple as "but consuming any animal products makes you ¼ less likely to get cancer." It could even be the opposite effect, although that's unlikely, of course. But this result doesn't rule out that other lifestyle choices made by vegans have, say, 30% benefits that more than "counteract" the –6% harm that comes from avoiding fish protein/fats or whatever.
