This is sort of a shower thought because this morning I was using some shaving cream and I thought, if it turns out in 5 years this was giving me cancer, I wouldn't be surprised.

Comes out a goo, ejected from a can with force, immediately becomes a foam?

Do you have anything you use that you think might be too good to be true?

Warfarin blood thinners.

Wouldn't be surprised if we find later that after decades of use that someone's body can gain resistance to it. I'd be fucked since I'm on the blood thinner train for life*.

*or until we can start printing human cells to recreate human parts

All of these Omega-3 and so-called healthy foods that have markup prices.

Like, an organic banana vs a original banana. What the fuck am I missing out on here?

Mostly I've noticed the organic ones have more flavour. If there's nutritional differences, I'd mostly expect it to just be more of the same nutrients in the organic version.

I wouldn't expect shaving cream to do it; goo and foam and pretty normal

I'm so nervous I'm going to find out aquaphor is bad. I've been spreading it on my baby's diaper area since they were born. I know she's absorbing it right into her little body. There's been so many articles about how diapers and tampons and pads are all just awful for us and full of lead and who knows what else and we're putting them right against our mucus membranes and just poisoning ourselves.

If you want to try something else, Burt's bees has a healing ointment for babies that is shea butter based instead of petroleum. Never actually used it on a baby myself lol but it worked wonders for me on my scalp (I have curly biracial hair and I'm picky about what goes in it) and scaly winter hands!

The internet and all electronic equipment. I think they are doing something much more sinister than whatever is reported so far.

Using it no... the trash yes. The amount of materials (toxic and rare) which goes to the bin is staggering.

Flavored soda water.
