What ACSH will demonstrate in this menu is that chemicals that are
rodent carcinogens, or that are suspected of being
such, abound in nature. It is increasingly evident to scientists that
the consumption of small doses of rodent
carcinogens, whether of natural or synthetic origin, does not pose a
cancer hazard to humans.

carcinogen
Allyl Isothiocyanate(arugula, broccoli, mustard) - mutagen and rodent
carcinogen
Benzaldehyde(coffee, tomatoes) - rodent carcinogen
Benzene(coffee) - rodent carcinogen
Benzo(a)pyrene (bread, coffee, pumpkin pie, rolls, tea) - mutagen and
rodent carcinogen
