Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation? (lemmy.world)

There is an ongoing study showing that artificial sweeteners (Aspartamein particular) cause cancer.

All those people trying to stay healthy to drinking diet things... are giving themselves cancer instead.

There are studies showing something is causing cancer for almost everything you eat. Wasn't there even a study that showed increased cancer risk if you eat potato chips? Or eggs?

You're knowledgeable and capable enough to sign up for Lemmy, but you don't know aspartame is bad?

Is Tobacco dangerous? I thought it was mostly the ridiculous amount of chemicals they soaked and resoaked it in when making cigarettes that made it especially bad.

Could be smart watches. Don't quote me on this, but wearing a watch 24/7 that emits light to constantly track your heart rate cannot exactly be good for your health (unless you truly need it)
