I read that burnt toast was carcinogenic. On further reading it seems that anything that is burnt is potentially carcinogenic and it doesn’t need to be blackened. Rather than their comfort zones being threatened I think many people are just overwhelmed by being told that so many things in their lives are giving them cancer & chronic stress must be carcinogenic.

Thank you for this sensible and reasoned article. This must be faced rationally which is difficult when the science community has been undermined so much because of CoVID. How do you see education being used effectively so that people are not only educated but their fears are faced? They genuinely feel got at and the reports they hear are rejected just like our own bodies reject transplants.
