Is there really such thing as a “safe” level of carcinogens?

Yes, there are safe levels of carcinogens. Most foods that we ingest have some levels of carcinogens, like apples or onions. Cigarettes, coffee, and alcohol all have high levels of carcinogens and no one gripes about those too much. In short, everything around us is killing us slowly. :)
