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 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.
