OK, really...
We're arguing about trace amounts of one chemical vs trace amounts of another chemical?
And we're making beer? Some of us making pretty strong beer?
I fully expect that multiple decades of regular alcohol consumption will take me out long before a little bit of this chemical here, or a little bit of that chemical there will.
Then again, the emphysema from a few decades of smoking will probably even beat that to the punch, based on my family history (which is full of both heavy smoking and heavy drinking. I've got a pretty good idea what my genetic makeup will fall prey to).
And who knows what's in my tap water, or even what half of the additives in the food we buy from the grocery store are?
I dunno. Not trying to be an ******* or anything, but we're a group of people who all produce beer in fairly large quantities, a good portion of us probably smoke a cigarette or cigar from time to time, and I know I personally love a nice, fatty porterhouse cooked on a carcinogen producing grill, and yes, wrap that ***** up in bacon if you don't mind.
Just seems a little odd to me that we're getting all excited about the health effects of running some hot water through a plastic tube....
