Warfarin blood thinners.
Wouldn't be surprised if we find later that after decades of use that someone's body can gain resistance to it. I'd be fucked since I'm on the blood thinner train for life*.

I'm so nervous I'm going to find out aquaphor is bad. I've been spreading it on my baby's diaper area since they were born. I know she's absorbing it right into her little body.

Like, an organic banana vs a original banana. What the fuck am I missing out on here?
Beer
That's been around for at least a couple millennia, though; you'd think we'd know by now, right?
I wouldn't expect shaving cream to do it; goo and foam and pretty normal
