I'd say that, in reference to small amounts, there's a difference between "bad for you" and "won't actually harm you" but I'm not going to argue with your point

[–] itsralC@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'd put it as "you won't actually perceive the damage"

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 2 points 7 months ago

Exactly. Even drinking a ml of alcool will hurt you it's just that the damage is so small you can't measure it.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

Nah, alcohol is literally poison.

The drunkenness you feel is just your body reacting to being poisoned.

Being a Group 1 carcinogen, let's analyze it with other carcinogens in the same group: is there such a thing as "won't actually harm you" amounts of asbestos? What about "won't actually harm you" exposure to ionizing radiation?

We don't know which DNA damage will turn into cancer, but each exposure to a group 1 carcinogen is another lotto ticket bought to see if you won cancer. You will never buy a lotto ticket that doesn't have a chance of winning.

ETA and then there's the non-cancer effects that just increase cardiac problems and stroke risk.
