So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

      But a little poison is often fine

      Of course a little poison is often fine, if we use such a broad definition of poison.

      If the definition of “poison” includes anything that can hurt you in massive quantities, that would include most drugs, plenty of vitamins, essential minerals, and even water if you take it to the extreme.

          14 cans a day is a massive amount, and I didn’t say anything to imply otherwise.

          I was agreeing with the guy I replied to that “a little poison is often fine” and elaborating that lots of things typically considered “safe” become dangerous in such large quantities.
