        Red cheetos weren’t killing people, that’s why they looked into that. Cancer-can here, with a proven history of being deadly, would look a-ok to them if they were still made. They’d probably issue a fake commercial made under the name of whatever agency should definitely not approve of this where whey literally spray this on burning meat on a bbq then gobble it with a glass of old refried grease.

            All I can find is a 1983 study on rats that show some negative effect on reproduction and physical activity with significant amount of it in their diet, while non-dose dependant effect where also measured. The sample was less than fifty rats for each group, and the results where all over the place (2.5% of the diet caused similar to more damage than 10% of the diet).

            You’d have to eat ton of the stuff, almost exclusively, to even reach levels that are considered still safe for humans. Beyond that, it’s not more dangerous than chili.

              But everything has “less than dangerous levels” of something. Our water bottle have less than dangerous micro plastics, our food has less than dangerous additives, ect.

              And we wonder why cancer and neurological conditions are getting worse.

              A bb gun probably won’t kill you, but 1000 would.

                Yes, that was… my point? You’d need to ingest so much food for this to reach a level that’s still considered safe that you’d probably have a lot of other issues before reaching that point.

                  And my point is we crossed that point when everyone we eat has these in them. I’m sure this is why adah and cancer is blowing up. It’s our food supply.

                    Be sure of whatever you want. Don’t let yourself be stopped by facts and actual studies. After all, what’s reality in the face of a strong, uninformed gut feeling.
