If you're implying that I am overestimating risk by comparing it to barbecued meat and exposure to vehicle exhaust then I would say that maybe you're underestimating risk from those two things.
I personally avoid barbecued meat for that exact reason, as well as refrain as much as possible from huffing exhaust fumes. If a lifestyle that allowed me to avoid being near cars were reasonably easy to achieve I would choose it. Because as you say, car exhaust is neurotoxic and carcinogenic.
- asjw 7y agoI work in healthcare in Italy, where we live more than anyone else in the World, on average, except for the Japanese. You are overestimating the causality between consumption and actual damages. Consumption is ok, abuse is not. Even too many showers can kill your skin Of course if you have a condition even a simple contact can be deadly (think about favism) And of course people are free to not drink, there's no shame in that, but don't think that it will give you more chances to have a long life than someone who drinks moderately It's like smoking, it is bad, you shouldn't do it, but truth is that smoking a couple cigarettes a day is like not smoking at all Paracelso said, many centuries ago, that it's t he dose that makes the poison and it's still true.
