SAY WHAAAAT?!
Okay, just calm down.
So PCB's (Polychlorinated biphenyls) are man-made chemical carcinogens which means they can cause cancer. The thing is there is this one study by German scientists who are ruining my favorite obsession. The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) investigated 66 other food products this year; 11 of the products that confirmed to contain PCB's were tapioca balls aka bubble tea bubbles. So right now, this is serious. This is a critical issue because somebody needs to get some peer-reviewed studies published. I mean, how am I supposed to know whether to support my bubble tea addiction or cut myself off cold turkey? Come on people... I need to see some more test results, pronto.
