Post proof that Crock Pots are a leading cause of lead poisoning.

I never claimed that they’re the “leading” cause, I responded to Souizxe who made claims that there’s no relation or history of cause yet she ended up with thyroid cancer. You prove there is not.

You can't prove a negative (prove there isn't). It's like saying "Prove unicorns and vampires DON'T exists." See Russell's Flying Teapot.

And I made no claim, so I have nothing to prove.

You're saying there's a link between their thyroid cancer and their usage of a Crock Pot.

Prove the connection and back your claim.

This is the Burden of Proof. Claimant must prove their claim, if they want to be believed. The skeptic doesn't need to prove anything to remain skeptical.

I only expressed the correlation. I don’t need to prove anything to you or her. Bugger off lil ronin

Because you really have NOTHING but internet speculation for proof.

ZenoofElia t1_ivpdr6z wrote on November 9, 2022 at 5:16 PM

Not speculation Souixze. It's a fact there's lead in those old crockpots.
It's a fact that lead poisoning is a factor in thyroid cancer.
Denial only gets you what you've got/had. Good luck.

If there's one thing I'm sure as shit not blaming it on, it's crock pots.

But consumers need not fret in the dark. The FDA maintains a list of products it has tested that have revealed lead contamination. The good news: Not a single crockpot is listed.

So you got no proof to back your claim?

So all we have is wild speculation and nothing to back it.

Cool, here is my "correlation," every one who got thyroid cancer drinks water and breathes air.

Air and water cause cancer.

Is this how this works?

Omg, you're right. I do drink water and breathe air. That must be what caused my cancer! /s

Wait until all these idiots find out the water intake pipe on their house/apartment building is made of lead.
