So… if we eat an unrealistic amount of processed meat we will get sick?

Who knew?

Next they’ll tell us that swallowing even 1 mouthful of hydrogen peroxide mouthwash is unsafe.

Doesn't hydrogen peroxide just degrade into water and oxygen? How is it harmful?

Swallowing it can make you very sick, yet it’s a safe and effective mouthwash if you have gum disease, or any other infection.

Best to just play it safe and rinse with warm salt water.
