I chose that word because it is possible that there could be health issues caused by the emulsifiers in american peanut butters, but also I don’t know if it is.
Probable is an apt word when something isn’t necessarily impossible.
You will also note that I didn’t use the word likely, because I can’t say whether it is likely or not.
Why would this be probable? Evidence?
Many things are probable.

“Plausible” is what you wanted. “Probable” means “likely”.
I meant it in the secondary definition of the term, which is “establishing a probability”.
Plausible is also a good word for it, but probable is still apt
You aren’t establishing a probability.
Or, by saying “probably” you are establishing a probability of > 0.5… with absolutely no proof.
This is the first time I’ve heard that definition. It seems like a niche definition that can easily result in misunderstandings
