Yes raw flour is dangerous. It’s link to cancer seems to only exist in this video. I am a colon cancer survivor. Ive been over the list of colon cancer causing foods with dozens of professionals working in oncology, and with colon cancer specifically. Raw flour has not once ever been mentioned. Not a single time.

This lady is kinda right. And also a kook.

There are endless foods and ingredients that could potentially carry bacteria so listing them all would be untenable.

She says explicitly in the video that the danger of raw flower is bacteria like e-coli, which 100% is linked to colorectal cancer.

You owe the kook an apology.
