https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IARC_group_2B I read through this list before when I was talking to a conspiracy theorist about 5G. Radio frequencies are on this list. As are caffeic acid (found in coffee, wine, mint), aloe vera and pickled vegetables.
Wouldnt be too scared by its admission to this list

Reminds me of when the WHO declared meat as a carcinogen. Pretty useless information. If you actually follow their advice, you'll likely just be switching to something that hasn't been studied as much.

Reminds me of Prop 65. The list or warning has become useless.

Not sure what your point is. Pickled vegetables contain nitrosamines [1] which are definite carcinogens. It’s the same reason that processed meats are associated with increased rates of colon cancer.
Regarding caffeic acid, it’s possible that it may have different effects based on concentration and other conditions. In small doses it may be protective, in high doses it may be carcinogenic. From the Wikipedia article:
“ Some studies have shown that it inhibits carcinogenesis, and other experiments show carcinogenic effects.[22] Oral administration of high doses of caffeic acid in rats has caused stomach papillomas.[22]“

No they didn't - they classified PROCESSED meat as a carcinogen. And they also have a FAQ to tell you what that means:

But if you would like to own the vegans, you're more than welcome to eat hot dogs all day, every day, exclusively and we'll see what happens.

Email such suggestions, including the story URL, original link, and preferred alternate, to HN's mods: hn@ycombinator.com.
(I've done so in this case.)

Not true. I (for one) had no idea acrylamide was a thing until a stop at McDonald's a few years ago.

From your link they call out both processed meat and red meat. They do distinguish that processed meat "causes" and red meat "probably causes" cancer.
