So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

      From what I read, in the 60s there was this idea that intestinal flaura would break it down into sulpher compounds that could cause cancer. A bunch of countries banned it, but later research suggested that it’s not that big a deal, so a lot of countries unbanned it.

      The US was not one of them.
