I was curious about this, so I searched the literature.
There was a commentary in the Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health addressing this specific study indicating their belief that there are several problems with the AHS study: first, its median follow-up is only 6.7 years, which is a short period of time for a cohort study following cancer latency, and they only followed a small number of NHL cases (92) instead of a pooled analysis of 650 that was available. They also (reportedly) redacted almost all of their source information and relied nearly exclusively on internal data rather than peer-reviewed literature for supporting information and listed no authors or contributors on their report.
I'd be pretty wary of this information absent further analysis.
