So someone could get Group 1 Carcinogens from processed meat, aflatoxins from peanuts, arsenic from rice, asbestos from talc in rice, aluminum from foil and personal care products etc.
And then some of us could also get Group 2A Carcinogens from red meat, acrylamide in overcooked foods, DDT here and there, lead in drinking water, glyphosate in genetically modified foods, and now glycidol from cooking oils.
Aren't they gonna increase the risk over a long period of time since the exposure could add right up? The list is so long that I could only mention that noteworthy ones:

The Consumer Council tested 60 types of edible oil from various brands and found 46 samples contained the toxic carcinogen glycidol.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified glycidol as a Group 2A substance, or “probably carcinogenic to humans”. There are no safe levels set for it anywhere in the world.
“It is not a Group 1 toxin, which is considered to be very severe carcinogens ... but of course, it would be best not to have any carcinogens in the oils,” professor Terence Lau Lok-ting, convenor of Polytechnic University’s food safety consortium, said.
