Mark, back to your old name calling? That's getting old. You've been
pushed off so many newsgroups I can't count them.
I'm a poster here on Rec.Food just like you. My blog is listed as it
is the source of the article, and it has no ads or commercial content.
Just a compendium of 300+ articles like the one you object to.
It's interesting how a pharmaceutical/chemical industry tout like you
can come on here and talk about cancer risk, when your whole
livelihood and interests deals with chemicals that can hurt the human
body. Mark, are you aware that your industry KILLS tens of thousands
of people every year when people like you formulate these products?
You should be ashamed of yourself for objecting to a post about the
genuine risk of cancer from grilled meats. This is based on research
from a legitimate university, with named people, not anonymous posters
like you who don't leave a trace of their identity behind them. Look
at everything of mine, and like the people from Kansas in this
article, I have my full details and biosketch open. Good luck getting
details on "Mark Thorsen, internet policeman"!
