Curious why it ends up causing cancer..
Probably not true for cancer risk: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2223525/
That sounds like a good way to get cancer.
Nothing stand-out from https://ourworldindata.org/cancer that would indicate that.Alcohol would also be a factor in play as that would increase the risk of some cancers, so the lack of you would of thought also be a factor with that lifestyle.
I think the cancer link is pretty solid but the base rates and relative risks don't paint that dire a picture.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3108955/
Wonder if this would increase the risk of cancer in the process.
It's true! https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/everything-causes-cancer/
"Causes" implies that you will get cancer if you partake. Maybe you mean "increases the risk of". Agreed that your risk exposure might only be fractions of a percent and not worth abstaining or regulating.
