Actually this is helpful. It reminds us all that there are carcinogens in everything we eat. So we shouldn’t do the St. Vitus dance everytime some scientist finds one more — as so many ignorant environmentalists would have us do. We should learn to distinguish between insignificant risks and real risks.

Glad to see this post. Maybe it will shock some sense into environmental wackos who are scared of their own shadow.

ACSH has been doing this Thanksgiving menu shtick for 25 years, and it is as stale as week-old turkey. It was the organization’s last original idea.

I think Nicolas has a point. But after 25 years the message still has not penetrated the brain of a lot of nervous nellies.

Agreed, Larry. A good deal of the blame should go to America’s scientists, who could do a much better job of debunking nonsense.
