Just a random thought, but has there been any research into dishwasher tablets/cleaning agents used in dishwashers? People are ingesting that, everywhere, all of the time

I stopped using rinse aid in my dishwasher after seeing this or a similar study: https://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749(22)01477-4/ful...
Thanks for the reference.
From the abstract:
The alcohol ethoxylates present in the rinse aid were identified as the culprit component causing the epithelial inflammation and barrier damage.
Ouch. Thanks for the pointer.
My theory is PFAS. https://research.uky.edu/news/markey-study-links-forever-che...
My theory is energy drinks which contain taurine that actually promotes cancer growth.
I wouldn't be surprised. A lot of people don't even rinse off the soap.
Dishwashers are not a new thing, so there should not be a correlation.
Perhaps it is the new detergents? I don't know.
The popular brands have extremely strong smell and I assume very strong chemicals. We use "Attitude" that supposed to be milder.
"Should not be a correlation" is a weird thing to say. A quick glance shows dishwasher use has been steadily increasing over time.
