Everything causes cancer. The reason is that the vast majority of cancer risk studies are done with insufficient control methodologies, have weak effect magnitudes, but are affected by positive finding publication bias and are published anyway.

And then they get cherry picked by diet fad promoters to support their crackpot theories and sell books.
