潜在的な国民負担率は62.9%?

Publisher’s rating: 不正確

The review says the potential national burden rate was 62.7% in 2020, but the latest actual figure cited was 54.7% for 2022 and the 2024 estimate was 50.9%. It therefore says the claim misleadingly presents the 62.9% figure as current.

Hormones injected into cows linked to human cancer risk

Publisher’s rating: FALSE! There is no conclusive scientific evidence to support this

Research from related reporting describes claims that milk from cows injected with genetically engineered growth hormone had higher levels of IGF-1, which it says is linked to human breast, colon and prostate cancers. This excerpt does not establish that the evidence for a human cancer risk is conclusive.
