Diesel exhaust as cancerous as asbestos

[meanjoe75fan]

Yawn.

"In a largely procedural move, the WHO has moved diesel soot out of the 'stuff we're pretty sure causes cancer' box and into the 'stuff we know causes cancer' box." Would be a good summation of the linked article.

Nothing unexpected or terribly noteworthy there, except the sensationalistic and inaccurate headline asserting "soot as bad as asbestos!"

(Just because both are carcinogenic, you cannot judge a priori the magnitude of risk of one relative to the other in real-world concentrations. E.g.: both caffiene and cocaine are CNS stimulants, but you can't accurately extrapolate this to "coffee as bad as crack!"

(Unless your only goal is to sell the story, and to heck with accuracy...)

the WHO is not about promoting health
anymore than the
American Cancer Society is about finding the cure for cancer
the American Cancer Society does not seek or want a cure for cancer as it would end their reason to exist - they only exist to expand their sources of funding for the coming year .

they are the enemy , why else would both of them promote the use of a known toxin and carcinogen
aspartame ? aspartame news and articles

their goals are not your goals - unless your goal is to be exploited , robbed and then killed early in horrible pain of something that would not exist

if you were educated about what nutrients are needed and what alleged nutrients should be shunned -

smoke and mirrors
