This came up in yesterday's Sunday roundtable

A doctor (Young Dr. Mike) had an article in Parade about all the healthy things he does everyday.

8-9 cups of coffee.

Class 4 doesn't cause cancer




The Class 4 list has 1 item listed. Nylon.
Although they do say that Nylon fibres can damage the body by causing lung and eye irritation.
Over here we are fighting the onslaught of dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO). That stuff is in EVERYTHING here in the U.S., and I fear it's a worldwide issue.

Everyone who's exposed to that stuff, even in small amounts, eventually dies. Everyone.

It's a win-win situation for these joyless health pundits.

I've lived on nothing but red meat for over 15 years...

Cholesterol level is fine and I've not died from cancer yet
