1. Anything can cause cancer if used in excess

Including water. The study that found that hot dogs caused rectal cancer(actually it was the nitrites in the dogs) stated that eating a hot dog a day would be the ticket to "butt cancer". I don't know about you, but I don't know anybody who eats a dog a day. I may have a couple of brats once a month during summer grilling season, but that's about it.

The same applies to red meat, white meat, chocolate, whatever. Moderation, moderation, moderation, that is the key.
