I gave up worrying about THINGS THAT MIGHT CAUSE CANCER when I heard, in
a detailed news report, that fried hamburger might.  Now, it seems to me
that some things really do have a strong link, like large amounts of
asbestos fibre floating in the air, but most everything else rates as so
insignificant as to only provide funding for cancer research.
Now I enjoy cheese and hamburger and sunshine and all of those other
things that caused human life as we know it to disappear, due to cancer,
48,000,000 years ago.

As for eating things with mold, I always take heart in the words of a
buddy of mine who, when he disovered some old food that didn't have mold
on it, in his fridge, said: "What do those little beasties know that I
don't."   He refused to ever buy that particular food again.
