Oh dear. Where to begin on "total health breakthroughs"?
Presentation of percentage risk increase without provision of the numbers that it relates to.
Scare words.
Unverified statements.
No provision of links to the report to allow people to make up their own minds.
Ignoring of ways to offset and/or eliminate the risks.
Ignoring the facts of daily life.
Ignoring the realities of the world we live in.
And that'll do me for now: BRB, applying brain bleach to the neurons affected by the stupidity of that article.
Excellent answers Stuart. And yet I have perfectly well-educated friends who were truly rattled by that article.

I seriously question anyone who is "on a mission: to explore, uncover and share the truth about harmful foods and beverages, prescription drugs, medical practices and the dishonest marketing practices that drive these industries."
Just how trustworthy are his findings...when he researches with this agenda?
Another excellent point. Of course, at least this article states it up front... there are many articles and authors claiming to uncover "risks"--and doing it under the guise of a false objectivity.

Hee-hee-haw-haw!
Oh, Daniel! Thank you so much for the "total health breakthroughs". I haven't laughed this much in ages. Everything can cause cancer.
The main cause of death, is life.
