    Contaminated food

    Do you's know about this? The food dye that apparently increases your risk of cancer?? There's been 100's of products withdrawn from the shelves cos they contain this dye. Links to the massive lists of food are at the bottom.

    Quite scary I think. Ive ate loads a stuff from there. :( Altho they are saying its not as bad as people are making out, a spokes person from the FSA (Foods Standards Agency) says : "It is not sensible for people to be continuing to eat these products." Shit

    , .

    It's only in certain ranges of product sell by dates.

    Still, it's probably best to be on the safe side.

    However, I must admit I havn't been checking at all....

    I was watching something the other morning and they were saying its been made too much of a big deal, the tests were only done on mice and the biggest cause of cancer thats on the shelves at the moment is cigarettes, something that, we all breath in if we like or not, clubbing etc...

    Yeah, exactly.

    It's just yet another thing a big fuss is made over when there are far worse and more common threats to our health!

    I don't really intend to memorise the full list...
