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.
