My aunt sent me a Facebook article on Tuesday claiming a certain sweetener causes cancer, so I clicked the source and it was a blog citing a study from 1997 where they fed mice the human equivalent of 500 packets a day. The "research institute" behind it doesn't seem to have a real address, just a PO box in Boise and a contact form. I sent her back the actual FDA page and she left it on read, which is honestly the best outcome I could hope for. Do you all have a go-to way of walking family through this without starting a Thanksgiving fight?
