It's worth listening, it's 53 minutes at 1x speed.

The main gist is that the list doesn't specify volume and the low quality of the data due to confounders. Also, conflicting studies.

Examples of things that will "probably" or "possibly" cause cancer:

Night shifts

Aloe vera

Talc

How many night shifts, and what is the risk increase? If you do 1 night shift will it double your chances of catching cancer, or will doing night shifts every day for 40 years increase your risk from 1 in 10 million to 1 in 9 million?

The list doesn't specify any further information.

You probably mean Aloe Latex here?
It seems to just be listed as "Aloe vera whole leaf extract" rather than saying the gel or latex specifically.
