Yeah that’s why I’m asking. “Linked to” could mean that a correlation was found by a single study on a small group of people, who had a bunch of other lifestyle factors which could easily account for it, or it could mean that, based on a study of lab mice, there’s a chance this stuff could give you cancer if you ate the equivalent of 20 kilos of it a day, but it could also mean that a series of high quality studies that account for other lifestyle factors have found that a kid who eats skittles every day is very likely to get cancer younger and have attention and hyperactivity problems.
I would like to know which. If it’s closer to the third option, then yay. I approve. If, on the other hand, it’s down to some group of fear-mongering “wellness” grifters who like to campaign to get stuff banned because it helps them sell shit to idiots, then boo, fuck you California.
