Many US peanut butter manufacturers add emulsifiers and other chemicals into their peanut butter so that it remains homogenous.
The realization is that the person would be eating those emulsifiers, and some people have claimed that they have negative health consequences, which is probable, although I don’t know if they do or not.
I chose that word because it is possible that there could be health issues caused by the emulsifiers in american peanut butters, but also I don’t know if it is.
Probable is an apt word when something isn’t necessarily impossible.
You will also note that I didn’t use the word likely, because I can’t say whether it is likely or not.

Why would this be probable? Evidence?
Many things are probable.

“Plausible” is what you wanted. “Probable” means “likely”.
I meant it in the secondary definition of the term, which is “establishing a probability”.
Plausible is also a good word for it, but probable is still apt
This is the first time I’ve heard that definition. It seems like a niche definition that can easily result in misunderstandings
You aren’t establishing a probability.
Or, by saying “probably” you are establishing a probability of > 0.5… with absolutely no proof.
