I mean, basically anything and everything can be linked to cancer. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a study listing "life" as a cause of cancer.

However, suing a scientific study is not a good look. Especially for a business. Why wouldn't they use the money theyre spending on lawyers to fund their own studies to prove accuracy or inaccuracy? Seems like the latter is the obvious better PR move.
