In mice.

If something causes cancer in mice, the curent consensus is that it is deemed unsafe for humans.

Not really. Mice are naturally genetically pre-disposed to cancer.

So in general, if something _doesn't_ cause cancer in mice, then it's probably safe for humans. The reverse is not necessarily true.

Also, GLP-1 was associated with thyroid, not pancreatic cancer.

Aren't most living things generically pre-disposed to cancer?

This is a good example of a thought-terminating cliche.

There used to be a Twitter bot that replied "in mice" to all breathless tweets reporting on various studies.
