I’m glad they mention some context!!Flying in an airplane is carcinogenic. Being a hairdresser is also in the carcinogenic category. And these are in the category which we KNOW are carcinogenic. Aspartame, aloe vera, and pickled veggies are in the POSSIBLE category. As they say in the pharmaceutical field, anything can be a poison, what matters is the DOSE!

This has been known for a very long time

I think the report is trying to over simplify the facts if something is carcinogenic, you shouldn’t eat it no matter how much you have to consume. Also people should consider who their corporate sponsors are, and if they’re just trying to save face on behalf of their marketers and advertisers

Absolutely it would be marketing as good since it may be paid by Coca Cola and Pepsi
