Info

Asbestos exposure is estimated to pose a lifetime mortality risk of between 1:1,000 and 1:10,000. Eating pesticide grown fruit is estimated to pose a lifetime mortality risk of 1:22,000.
The data also suggests that we should talk in terms of risk, and not use terms like safe drinking, sensible drinking, alcohol misuse etc, because these terms do not mean anything. And, we need to get the risk message across - too many people still think that alcohol is good for you.
