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?

Some that haven’t been mentioned:

Prolonged Sitting Prolonged Loud Headphone Use Off-Label Drug Use (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy) Sun/Heat/Poor Air Exposure Thiamine/B1 Deficiency via Alcohol Consumption

We know they’re all dangerous (to wildly varying extents), but I don’t think we’ve had enough moments-of-reckoning, like with emphysema and lung cancer following long term smoking.

Damn. Prolonged sitting while listening to loud music outside in the sun and using using off label drugs is one of my favorite past-times

Hey man, I do it all - waiting for it to catch up with me :)

Life is short, so what's the harm in making it a bit shorter?
