What item you use frequently would you be least surprised to learn is secretly bad for you? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

Huel. I'm just waiting for some ~~random internet person~~ doctor to tell me how exactly I'm making my already shaky health significantly worse because I'm too ~~lazy~~ tired for anything more than powder in water.

Also, the decades-old radiator in my flat is probably just spewing all sorts of hazardous particles and nobody will know until they do an autopsy on me.

I used to do Huel pretty regularly because one of my medicines makes me not want food and shakes are tolerable. But they kept selling out of my favorite flavor!

Here's hoping it's not too toxic!

Most radiators are just a big metal thing which a hot liquid slowly flows through to radiate the heat into the space. Kinda hard for that to be bad for you unless you burn yourself
