Except vitamins aren't neurotoxins? That's a false equivalency man, you should know this. I might as well stop posting if you guys are deadset at telling me that a neurotoxin that multiple governments and dozens of health organizations are concerned about are basically as bad as vitamins.
No it's just one that's in a lot of things and as a result of a lot of natural processes
you've got a neurotoxin being produced by your body right now
Sodium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLJ4FH7q0EQ potassium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqMN3y8k9So Small dosage of Cyanide (non-lethal) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1rUw21MIII
Then I agree. But sodium is never eaten in its raw form, just a clarification. Once two atoms fuse to become a molecule, the property changes dramatically. Acrylamide isn't fused with another molecule when ingested, which is the cause for concern. It has been shown to be extremely bad if you get it on your skin, since it can enter your body that way, but so far through ingestion it seems to not be that harmful (especially in the small doses that you'd get through typical foods), but the label is appreciated, which is my entire point.
honestly, here's my problem with prop 65 warnings they literally mean nothing now to anyone who lives or spends any time in california walk into Disneyland: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Disneyland_Prop_65_Warning_crop.jpg/1024px-Disneyland_Prop_65_Warning_crop.jpg go into a parking garage: https://health.thefuntimesguide.com/files/prop-65-parking-garage.jpg eat some seaweed: https://www.beyondthecreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/seaweed-cancer-sign.jpg burn wood: https://woodsmokepollution.org/images/xprop-65-pellet-bag.png,qcrc=453404561.pagespeed.ic.-NddWUpRov.jpg

But literally everything is "known by the state of California to cause cancer" the company i work for sells soccer balls, and we have to put prop 65 warnings on all our storefronts because PVC falls under prop 65 later this year. Most businesses just put a prop 65 warning on the wall by the door, cuz most manufactured things "can cause cancer"
It's a huge waste of resource to print that on absolutely everything. If cancer really is that rampant then these 'warnings' do about as much as Facebook likes.
Wow, I didn't realize it was this bad. So what are the requirements for Prop 65? It seems really, really low. Like, well bellow Group 2A rating low. Seems like a poorly written law. If they made it apply to 2A and above I'd see it being good for informing consumers, but that's kind of crazy the way it is now lmao.
the way 65 works is the moment something is even suggested to be carcinogenic in homeopathic level doses it immediately goes on the list of warning required items. the burden of proof is on the person not posting a sign to prove that the item they want to get out of posting has zero chance of causing cancer (once something has a 65 warning, it never loses it for the most part)
Block the Sun, it causes massive amounts of cancer
I love how you had to throw in that line about homeopathy as some sort of display of your intellect, as if you were ripping some epic zinger on me and just had to throw a few hard fax in there to really sick burn me down the bumpipe. I was making a shitty gross-out joke at your expense, sheesh.
Sounds depressing for someone to see that warning everywhere when they're visiting.
Prop 65 Scam Amount paid to lawyers since 2000 $202,733,724.74 182 POUNDS: Amount of french fries you would need to eat for Acrylamide, a labeled food, to be a carcinogen $142 MILLION: Amount paid by businesses to settle Prop 65 lawsuits between 2000 and 2010. Like holy shit, if this is all true, that makes this nothing short of a massive joke scam
We should just label the judge as a form of cancer as well
Warnings like those would be useful if they actually told me what the damn thing is and how much of it is present. Instead they just end up turning into a case of the boy who cried wolf, with people outright ignoring all of them (even in the small number of cases where carcinogens actually are present).
