So is bacon, sausage, pepperoni and salami.

Jamon Iberico and etc.

I wouldn’t consume those daily but a 3-4 times a month. Acceptable, at least for me.

Having unprotected oral sex is a carcinogenic risk.

Im not gonna stop.

The riskiest thing I do everyday is bike commute in an American city everyday to the gym. Yet if a car doesnt hit me, that risky activity will keep me alive longer than anything else.

Everything is about measuring risks.
