Another thing told to me by a mechanical engineer who is the son of a dentist: people from different countries can have different characteristics and inter-breeding may cause problems. He said oh, German teeth in an Irish mouth - the kid in question is indeed a mix from those two places. My kids ortho said they do things differently depending on race too. Example they gave was that Chinese teeth tend to be more straight across the front as opposed to more arched, so they take that into account when doing braces.
Fine in moderation IMO, but I wouldn't prescribe it for daily use.

> The 18% increase means the risk of developing bowel cancer is 1.18 times higher for those who eat 50 grams of processed meat per day compared to those who eat none. The figure 1.18 is known as “relative risk”.
> Put this way, the increase is quite small. By contrast, men who smoke cigarettes have about 20 times the risk of developing lung cancer as men who do not smoke. Expressed as a percentage, the increase in risk due to smoking is 1,900%

> Cancer Research UK (link is external) presented the risks (link is external) in this way: "Out of every 1,000 people in the UK, about 61 will develop bowel cancer at some point in their lives. Those who eat the lowest amount of processed meat are likely to have a lower lifetime risk than the rest of the population (about 56 cases per 1,000 low meat-eaters)."
