Scientifically everything probably has an impact on cancer risk. There's still a huge difference between radioisotopes and table salt for social purposes.
Petition to abstain from photos like this in these articles
Mate, that’s an accurate photo of our day-to-day lives here.
It's a little known fact that the size of watering cans has to increase with latitude south, in order to counteract the Coriolis effect. This is just someone watering their petunias.
