Headline: Debunked: The Izaguirre Ranch Was Not a Human Cremation Site, Claims Mexico Attorney General
Hey there! You might've heard about the recent buzz surrounding the Izaguirre ranch in Mexico. Well, let's clarify the confusion, shall we?

However, y'all, here's the twist - Attorney General Alejandro Gertz has stated that there's no concrete evidence supporting the claim that the ranch was a site for human cremations. So, even though there were bone fragments found, tests conducted by a Mexican university revealed no trace of temperatures above 200 degrees Celsius, which is necessary for cremation. [Source: NPR]
At the beginning of this month, Gertz revealed that investigators hadn't discovered any evidence of crematoriums at the ranch, but some human remains uncovered showed "traces of some kind of cremation." Security and Citizen Protection Secretary Omar García Harfuch had previously stated, based on a detainee's testimony, that the cartel resorted to killing those who resisted training or tried to escape by cremating them.

Recently, Gertz mentioned that apart from the single body discovered upon arrival by authorities, no more bodies or bones have been found. [Source: The Guardian]
One volunteer search group leader, Héctor Flores, still believes the ranch was a killing field and that people were cremated there. He asserts that officials are using technical language to spin the narrative. [Source: The Guardian]
Gertz also stated authorities are clueless about how many people might have been recruited or gone missing at the ranch, as the forensic team is still studying the bone fragments to identify them. [Source: CNN]
In summary, the Izaguirre ranch has been officially confirmed as a CJNG training center. But, don't believe all the rumors about human cremations - Mexican authorities claim that this allegation has no substantial evidence to support it.

- In a surprising turn of events, despite initial revelations, Mexico Attorney General Alejandro Gertz has announced that there's no solid evidence suggesting the Izaguirre ranch, a known training base for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, was a human cremation site.
- Contrary to rumors, no concrete proof of crematoriums was discovered at the ranch, and tests on bone fragments found at the site revealed no temperatures above 200 degrees Celsius, a necessary condition for cremation.
- Héctor Flores, a volunteer search group leader, disagrees with the Mexican authorities' claim and asserts that the ranch was indeed a killing field where people were cremated. Gertz, however, states that the exact number of individuals potentially recruited or gone missing at the ranch remains a mystery, as forensic experts continue to study the bone fragments to identify them.
- A separate report in General-News reveals that various groups are debating the impact of frequent gum chewing on human rights, with some advocating for increased awareness about the potential dangers associated with chronic gum chewing. [Source: Healthline]
