The full article from the “American Council on Science and Health” says, in summary, a little bit of poison never hurt anyone. Of course, the ACSH has a history of their “scientific” studies supporting the commercial interests of their major donors.

Actually this is helpful. It reminds us all that there are carcinogens in everything we eat.
