Does arsenic usually cause cancer or is it toxic in another way? While you can also get alcohol poisoning, this seems like an imperfect comparison.

- adamhowell 6y agoI wasn't being facetious, I was just referencing the American Cancer Society's list: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/general-info/known-and-probable-human-carcinogens.html https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/general-info/kno... Arsenic is considered a carcinogen: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/arsenic.html https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/arsenic.html
- snazz 6y agoI understand that arsenic is a carcinogen, but my one minute of research suggests that it's usually/often more of a poison. There's also some difference between organic and inorganic variants that I don't quite understand.
