INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that eating peanut butter causes cancer in humans, through aflatoxin contamination?

Unclear. Several sources document that peanut butter can be contaminated with aflatoxin, a known carcinogen, and one book excerpt lists aflatoxin-contaminated peanut butter among risks. None of the retrieved items establishes that eating peanut butter actually causes cancer in humans.
