Tonsil stones, calcified deposits in the tonsils, cause throat cancer.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 7 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 Tonsil stones, calcified deposits in the tonsils, cause throat cancer?

Unclear. Several reference and clinical sources describe tonsil stones as benign calcified deposits causing bad breath, sore throat or tonsillitis, and list HPV, tobacco and alcohol as tonsil cancer risk factors; none of the placed items reports tonsil stones causing throat cancer.
