The benzo[a]pyrene content of the smoke from one cigarette is ∼10 ng (21), so smoking a pack of 20 cigarettes will also mean an intake of ∼200 ng of this chemical*>It is probable that most commercial maté producers, along with the general public, have not been aware that maté drinking currently has health risks as well as health benefits, and that at least some of these risks might be avoided if the drying methods were changed.>Given the high prevalence of maté consumption in certain areas of South America, the population-attributable fraction of ESCC due to maté drinking has been estimated to range from 10% to 79%, which implies that reducing consumption or reducing the carcinogens in IT COULD potentially lead to a substantial decrease in the burden of ESCC.Wow, it's fucking nothing, grat studies.
