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?

    I can promise you it’s not nearly as bad as not taking your insulin.

      Oh yeah, defiantly. Wife said, maybe it ends up like chemo, the benefits, out weigh the bad, but you still don’t want to use it as a hair removal drug.

        I definitely don’t like the creosote based preservatives that give it that weird smell.

        I have type 1 though, so it’s indisputable that it’s healthier for me than no insulin - without external insulin, I’d be in DKA, a coma and then dead probably in less than a week.

          Type 2 here, just diagnosed on Nov 19th after a minor stroke. I was trying to identify the smell, was making me think of a dentist office. It’s not a pleasant smell for sure.

            They are also used in bandage packages, also some medical soaps, sanitizer and anesthetic - metacresol and phenol.
