Y'all mind if I scream a bit? I know I'm a bit stubborn and I come in here to prove a point, but if somebody can convince me this is an actual misquote/smear campaign/flat-out lie on the part of anti-45 liberal media my blood pressure will actually go down to a safer level.

Makes as much sense as the people that say powerlines cause cancer.

Some people think solar panels cause cancer. Cuz, you know, they read too many Superman comic books.

People need cancer to be caused by something, something specific and solvable that can be attacked. They need it to be one thing that can be fixed, because being a whole class of things that can show up for a huge variety of reasons, some seemingly without any cause whatsoever and without easy or even likely cures is very difficult to deal with.

And sadly, there are those who exploit this need and sometimes even encourage that unease in order to do so.

Well, staying on a YouTube comments section too long can give you cancer. BOOM! FULL BODY CONTACT. Yes, went there. :P

Everything you eat is either causing or preventing cancer.

Fine lol, anything instead of everything. That is, to be more precise. The hyperbole of what I was saying operates on the idea that, for each and every thing you consume, it is either helping or hurting you.
