What item you use frequently would you be least surprised to learn is secretly bad for you? - eviltoast

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 just saw an article the other day that black plastic utensils are toxic. I’m right there with you.

    A couple places near me still use styrofoam. I can’t get past it.

      Because of those articles, I just got rid of my black plastic utensils, but I’ve been using them over a decade so if they were contaminated, it’s probably too late

        It also mostly applies to new plastics which are made from recycled plastics. If you have an ancient one, it’s probably not made from recycled plastic and could be totally fine.
