it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients
Sounds bad, yes, but we are use to hearing such things all the time and never look into it. We tend to either believe it all or none of it.
We are told that products are very harmful to us each day and we continue to use them and don't care. We think that it's bogus, will never hurt us or anyone we care about, that there is so much out there that harms us why bother to care, etc... We have a whole list of excuses why we don't care.
A few really educated themselves and learn the truth about things. They care about it. Thus they are not stupid and uneducated (about the things they care enough to learn about)
Does this make sense?
