Having lost both parents to cancer, I found this info-graph on cancer terrifying, especially in the light of the news that now formaldehyde is a cancer causing agent.
I know I've said this before, but I just wonder what people three hundred years from now will think of all the unhealthy things we consumed (things, that as of now, we don't know are truly unhealthy). I think of all those who began smoking before the health risks were really clear. Or the Romans and their lead pipes. Or those who worked around asbestos for year. Or DDT . . . Our descendants will just marvel at how foolish we were for - who knows? - our pesticides? our cell phones? our microwaves? our plastics?
