As long as this article is histrionically exaggerating the risks, let me make a histrionic exaggeration of my own.

Nonsense like this is why the public health establishment has almost zero credibility in conversations about low risk events.

Reminds me of a paper from Scandanavia- cooking bread generates acrylamides which are unhealthy.

If you read carefully enough you can see there is no real health effect in practical cases, especially when you consider how core breadlike foods are around the world. But it still generated a lot of press and literature, see for example https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8073677/

You're not doing your histrionics right. It's "articles like this is why Trump won".
