Don't worry you're only drinking the recommended amount of carcinogens.

Everything is a carcinogen pretty much though.

Eat meat? Better boil or steam everything because any bit of char on meat is a carcinogen. Especially avoid all red meat and sandwiches in general.

Don’t heat potatoes or a lot of other vegetables too high either. They can produce acrylamide, another carcinogen that’s also found in tobacco smoke.

Never drink alcohol either because it’s a carcinogen.

Don’t fry anything. Causes cancer.

Peanuts and peanut butter are laced with aflatoxins that are carcinogenic.

Literally everyone gets cancer several times in life. Most of the time your body kills it off. It’s only when that fails that we catch it. The longer we live and the more we minimize other factors, the bigger cancer will become as a cause of death.

Life is too short to worry about that shit. Cut out most of the processed crap and cook and eat whole unprocessed foods mostly and you’ll be fine.

Depends on what kind of processing it's being put through. I wouldn't drink unpasteurized milk, that's for sure.

Eh if you know the source well, raw milk is delicious. I sure as fuck wouldn’t trust some corporation with it though. I know local farmers though and get raw milk from trusted sources. Way better than even the high end grocery store stuff.

As long as you don't try and serve it to me, all power to you.

I get it at the farmer's market. It is delicious!

It doesn't matter how trusted the source is, raw milk could still be carrying pathogens. Having recovered from salmonella earlier this year (I didn't eat anything for a month), I don't recommend taking the chance.
