A medication might have a miniscule increase in chance for cancer? Say it ain’t so! We shouldn’t let kids eat processed meats then. Or have direct tap water. Or eat donuts. Or fly anywhere. Or go out in the sun. Or have diabetes. Or have a cell phone anywhere near their heads. Or drink soda. Or drink anything out of a plastic bottle. Or be around a scented candle. Or fall asleep with the TV on. The fact is that just existing increases your chances of cancer. To use that as a reason to not do something that’ll make you happier is insane and it will lead to you hiding under your bed for the rest of your life. Except that being at all sedentary will also increase risks of cancer so you can’t just hide either.
Or any meats. Watch the cons’ heads explode about “social engineering” if more and more authorities start trying to warn children away from the dangers of any meat. The cons are already cranking up their culture war against other healthy efforts like milk substitutes and have always had an uneasy detente with veg*n diets - but are increasingly getting more and more agitated about any change to their “way of life”, even if it’s wayyyy better for them.
