The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

For what it’s worth, the classification “category 1” carcinogen does not indicate severity or level of risk. Everything that is carcinogenic is in category 1. If something is “maybe carcinogenic, unsure”, it’s category 2. Plutonium is in category 1, but so are alcoholic beverages and birth control pills.

You forgot to mention that group 2 is split into two categories

Group 2: 2A: cancer probable and 2B cancer possibly.

Group 3: not enough evidence.

Group 4: no evidence.
