Daily ice cream consumption can reduce diabetes risk by 50%

Ice cream might save the planet. The healthy fats in ice cream can protect you against so many things... 50% reduction in diabetes [from] one serving a day.

While some controversial studies have suggested a correlation between dairy intake (including ice cream) and lower diabetes risk, health organizations generally caution against high-sugar/fat foods like ice cream for diabetes prevention.

The only way to win at gambling is to bet money lines on favorites

Gambling on sports is the only way to win. But you have to bet the money line... where you only gonna win cents on the dollar. Because teams always win. They just never cover.

Mathematically, favorites often lose outright, and money lines are priced to ensure a house edge. It's a gambler's fallacy/strategy rather than a verifiable fact.
