- such as EDTA which is comprised of formaldehyde (perhaps the most cancer causing agent known to man) and cyanide (a poison). Never before have we eaten so many processed foods.

Not sure where you are getting this from, but just looking at the structure of EDTA there are functional groups of carboxylic acids that could be considered formaldehyde but not in the form of the molecule as is. Also cyanide is a double bonded Nitrogen to Carbon which is not present in EDTA. Also Benzene is probably more cancer causing than formaldehyde, as are many other compounds. Many of the structures you are pointing out as being in EDTA are also present in the proteins and hormones found in our bodies that we can not live without. Also there are compounds called isothiocyanates which are cancer preventors found in foods lie broccoli that have structures much like EDTA.

While EDTA is not benign it is also not some horrible poison as you make it out to be. So many chemicals have gotten bad press when they do not deserve it, yet others are never heard of that are very lethal.

This is all bunk - radio waves are do not cause cancer. They cause people to boil and can cook popcorn and other food - but not cancer.

They are probably the leading cause for GW though. Certainly much more than CO2.... :)
