There was a West Wing joke somewhat similar to this.
Margaret: Red meat has been found to cause cancer in white rats. Maraschino cherries have been found to cause cancer in white rats. Cellular phones have been found to cause cancer in white rats. Has anyone examined the possibility that cancer might be hereditary in white rats?
Surgeon General Millicent Griffith: Let me tell you something, I’m not a hundred percent sure we’ve ruled that out.
Rodent model studies are mostly done in very inbred mouse models. Toxicity and cancer data is typically done at doses a human could not possibly get in a lifetime.
Remember when BPA was a hormone in plastic? BPA was originally a failed attempt to make a synthetic hormone, the only way they could see anything like a hormone effects was when they injected huge amounts into rodent muscles. People went stupid with media driven fear.

Junk science is a waste of time and money.
See I posted a joke from an early 2000s television show, and then you posted all that.
