Post proof that Crock Pots are a leading cause of lead poisoning.

I never claimed that they’re the “leading” cause, I responded to Souizxe who made claims that there’s no relation or history of cause yet she ended up with thyroid cancer. You prove there is not.

You can't prove a negative (prove there isn't). It's like saying "Prove unicorns and vampires DON'T exists." See Russell's Flying Teapot.

And I made no claim, so I have nothing to prove.

You're saying there's a link between their thyroid cancer and their usage of a Crock Pot.

Prove the connection and back your claim.

This is the Burden of Proof. Claimant must prove their claim, if they want to be believed. The skeptic doesn't need to prove anything to remain skeptical.

Because you really have NOTHING but internet speculation for proof.

Not speculation Souixze. It's a fact there's lead in those old crockpots.
It's a fact that lead poisoning is a factor in thyroid cancer.
Denial only gets you what you've got/had. Good luck.

So you got no proof to back your claim?

So all we have is wild speculation and nothing to back it.

Cool, here is my "correlation," every one who got thyroid cancer drinks water and breathes air.

Air and water cause cancer.

Is this how this works?

Omg, you're right. I do drink water and breathe air. That must be what caused my cancer! /s

Wait until all these idiots find out the water intake pipe on their house/apartment building is made of lead.
