Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

Alcohol. It iss class 1 carcinogen.
People im western societies drink constantly, characters on TV drink constsntly and cancer rates have skyrocketed, hmm.
Disagree, we know alcohol is dangerous so it's not a surprise. Looking for things that are believed to be safe and normal but actually aren't
i.e. teflon
At least something where some new danger might be discovered in further study. We have enough studies to show alcohol destroys basically every aspect of the body in some way.
I think people are reading this prompt in two different ways. Some people are reading it as "what will be something we discover new dangers of" and others are reading it as "what unhealthy thing might he less socially acceptable in the future"
People off most cultures drink, not just westerners. See Japan.
Also people have drank for thousands of years and I’ve not seen any studies showing there’s more drinking now not that that hypothetical increased drinking has increased cancer rate.
Yes it’s obviously bad and causes cancer.
I know, it's the hill, but I'm on mobile and don't feel like getting a better source. We're not drinking more than ever, but we are drinking more, and it is becoming more normalized again. Also doing it for thousands of years isn't much of an argument since we only recently even discovered cancer
Same with artificial sweeteners
