Grammar
The usage of "otherwise"
Hi all,
I just want to ask if this sentence is grammatical:
"People have the rights to choose whatever they want even if sugary drinks, which are not scientifically proven to be causing obesity, are otherwise."
This is my original meaning:
"People have the rights to choose whatever they want even if sugary drinks, which are not scientifically proven to be causing obesity, are proven to be causing obesity."
If it's not grammatical, then would there be a better way to write it?
Thanks!
Jeffrey

Jefferinowhich are not scientifically proven to be causing obesity, are proven to be causing obesity.Your sentence is ungrammatical and contradictory! I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Rewrite it in a more direct and simple way.

The following changes are needed to clarify your meaning.
People have the right to choose whatever they want to drink, even if sugary drinks, which are not yet scientifically proven to cause obesity, are someday proven otherwise.
Breaking this into more than one sentence may also help. The use of "otherwise" is understandable, but it doe
