A singles mixer would include both males and females, not just guys who are kinda male and strongly male. Mixed conclusion would benefit the ABA, because it would mean no strong link had been found and repeatedly found.
One other major problem with the study is that the data is self-reported. People who have pancreatic cancer are probably more accurate at reporting the number of sodas drank better than people who do not have pancreatic cancer.
Regardless of the article's poor word choice and the study's lack of observations, I still don't drink soda. It gives me gas.

proud parenting moment from yesterday: We dump the big tub of legos onto the floor, start rummaging through them to build a rocket or pool or helicopter and Payton says: "Dad, you find and I'll build"

I'm not sure that's how the American Beverage Association uses the term "mixed conclusions".
Likewise, there are "mixed ideas" on evolution, and "mixed results" on the dangers of smoking.

Mixed means some found no correlation, some found a negative correlation, some found a positive.
Given the statistical work, I'll buy the sugars study and believe the theory of an additional link with soda, but the soda study uses too small of number to provide evidence of anything. It doesn't strengthen anything when you use bad data.

Well, obviously it is corroborating everything in the "mixed conclusions" that lies on the "causes pancreatic cancer" side.
But what does mixed conclusions mean? Some found it heavily correlated and others found it lightly correlated? Or is there just one study that opposes all the others?
:Pereira points out that the findings are biologically plausible, held up in non-smokers, remained similar after taking other dietary habits into account and are consistent with findings in Caucasian populations.
:Even though the new study has limitations, the findings do echo those of previous studies, says Laurence N. Kolonel, MD, PhD, a researcher at the Cancer Research Center and professor of public health at the University of Hawaii, Honolulu. With his colleagues, he evaluated the association between added sugars in the diet and pancreatic cancer risk, publishing the findings in 2007. “In our study, we found a positive association between high intake of fructose and pancreatic cancer,” he tells WebMD. “Since high-fructose corn syrup is the main sweetener in non-diet soft drinks, our findings and those of the present study are quite consistent.”

"Previous studies have produced mixed conclusions about whether consumption of soft drinks boosts the risk of pancreatic cancer." Not sure what is it corroborating?

I'm writing Letters of Recommendation... cut... paste... change name... change pronoun.
Also, I looked at the statistics for the pancreatic cancer, soda link and that is a really small number of observations.

Thanks for the happy notes. I got to call 4 people today and tell them they have been selected for an interview at MSU. So I got that going for me.
Oh yeah, and Nathaniel's cooking dinner.
