100% of people die having had at least 64oz of water in their lifetime. Stop drinking water! Seriously though, this article is 10/10 on the bullshit meter. The “research” link is to a annual meeting. There is no evidence that the “more likely” status is meaningful, and there are no receipts in the article that can be verified.
Science has discovered that saliva causes stomach cancer but only when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time.

Good thing I live on hot dogs and macaroni and cheese! Suck it!

Doubt I would taste good, too much processed cheese product. :3
Hot dogs have gone up in price so much I’ll stick to just mac and cheese.
Is Costco still the same price? Might be able to spring for one of those hot dogs, you know, as a treat.
Force you to have a membership now to get food…
Life is carcinogenic, especially in the state of California.
Got it, quit eating and start smoking cigarettes.
People with self control over their dietary choices blown the fuck out
Why “may”? If they have insufficient data to assert a statement, then is it just as useful to state that it “may not”? So, fruit and veggie consumption may not influence early onset lung cancer.
Because they have enough data to form a hypothesis that requires more research to confirm. Even if you leave the “may” out it’d be very vague because we don’t know what exactly causes the cancer. Pesticides on vegetables is just their best guess and even if that’s correct, which ones exactly? It might also be something else entirely that happens to correlate with a veggie heavy nutrition but has little to do with the vegetables themselves.
Uncertainty isn’t a bad thing.
let’s be real, these things never get ‘confirmed.’
tl;dr its the pesticides on the vegetables, not the vegetables themselves
Too lax regulations in US yet again.
USA food regulation is crazy
in most of the world a principle of prohibited untill proven safe is followed, in the land of free questionable chemicals in your food a principle of allowed untill proven unsafe is followed
Well… You can’t really prove something is safe. You can only say “we were unable to demonstrate any link to known harm”. PFAS was considered safe for decades. So was asbestos. Then the science got better, and we were able to show things we couldn’t before.
