“The World Health Organisation (WHO) warned that 87 per cent of India’s population will develop cancer by 2035 due to milk adulteration.”

The assertion that the WHO issued a warning regarding an impending cancer crisis affecting 87% of India's population by 2035 due to milk adulteration is entirely fabricated. This claim has circulated on social media for several years, with the target year periodically updated (previously 2025, now 2035). The World Health Organization has issued multiple official clarifications stating that it has not released any such advisory to the Government of India. Furthermore, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) of India has officially debunked the claim as fake news. There is no credible scientific or institutional evidence to support the statistic that 87% of the population is at risk of cancer from milk consumption, nor is there evidence that such a high percentage of milk in India is adulterated to a degree that would cause such an outcome.
