What previously was regarded as safe, is now considered unsafe?
Sorry about the long title.
What were we originally told was safe but now is considered unsafe? Obvious ones are asbestos and smoking. Hit me with as many as possible, got a meeting on Friday and need lots of examples.

Back in my day - sex. She was on the pill and the worst you could get was taken care of with some antibiotics. Today sex can kill you! I would have never been able to put the mileage on my unit as I did. And goin' in with "protection? It never satisfied me. Those were the days. I didn't get married until I was 36.

I like the line, "remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty?"

Shopping carts and doorknobs that haven't been sanitized...
When we were kids we would drop a toy on the ground... pick it up.. and stick it in our mouths!

PCBs
They were originally thought to be a great way to prevent electrical transformer fires. The very high toxicity was not known at the time, as it was not studied. |
