What do you guys make of this?

Diacetyl isn't the evil it was thought to be???

I still think it can be bad. Up to you if you avoid it or not. I don't think it is as bad as the fear mongers portray it as but I don't think it is harmless either.
I've just read to many "bad" things about it. Sort of sad I did think about cigarettes all those many years. Evidently I'm getting smarter in my old age. Glad something is improving. 
Ya, but I think the point of the article is that all those bad things we've read were apparently based on flawed science...
I decided to live dangerously and ordered 15ml of Monkey Cream from vaping Monkey. They disclose that it does contain trace amounts of diacetyl. I just couldn't resist buying a juice that supposed to taste like vaping a Krispy Kreme donut. It's still steeping but it smells just heavenly. Probably won't order it again until we get more info on the diacetyl situation, but I figure 15 mls of it won't kill me.
The research in question is related to smoking which in turn indicates that burning occurred, the outcome therefore is insignificant with relation to vaping as the composition of the chemicals will change.
Truth be told we just don't know and likely won't for years. Also, truth be told, it's orders of magnitude safer than smoking.
Part of the equation here is the method of use and the amount of the diacetyl.
Take water as an example.
Skin contact- harmless
Ingestion- highly suggested but could be harmful in excessive quantities
Inhalation- not suggested, effects range from mild discomfort to quick death depending on the quantity inhaled
There are so many variables that a quick, quantitative analysis is not possible.
It's actually a creamy vape. I guess somewhat like a Krispy Kreme. I actually really dig it. More so than The OB. But yeah...don't think I will order again. Just to be safe.
And as with anything else, it affects people differently....for example, I have aquagenic urticaria, I'm allergic to water! After a bath or even if I sweat my back chest and shoulders look like I have been rolling around in stinging nettles, my skin feels like its buring :-(
I can't begin to imagine how much that sucks, you'd be in really bad shape here in FL

My reaction isn't as bad as some people get it, it's just something I learn to put up with. I still take the kids swimming etc, my dad had it too but was his reaction was more severe and some people can't even drink water!
but yer, it sucks, esp if my hair gets wet and burns my face and neck! Our good ol British weather ain't the best either.
