I understand it can be difficult to properly investigate claims like this but it is SO important. We really need to stop reposting things without first considering the message with a healthy amount of skepticism.

1) What is the intent? 2) What possible biases might be influencing the content? 3) Being aware that I myself am biased, do I agree or disagree with this and why? 4) What are we expected to do with this information?

Okay but what was said still wasn't very accurate. And even IARC is like, "we don't have evidence of this but we'll call it possibly carcinogenic anyway"
