This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff
Medicine Hat, Canada
It's a conspiracy!
Today, I had to very clearly explain to my mother, in public, why you cannot get cancer from eating too much ketchup. FML

OP's Mother: So I heard the most interesting thing while watching Doctor Oz, today! OP: Oh yeah, what's that? OP's Mother: Apparently eating too much of certain things can be hurtful to your health. OP: Yeah i already knew that... OP's Mother: You know what else is hurtful to your health? Cancer. OP: That's great mom. *Applies ketchup to burger.* OP's Mother: Careful, don't put too much. It'll give you cancer. One possible scenario. :3

it's the opposite in fact, the tomatoes in ketchup contain lycopene which helps prevent prostate cancer! "The More You Know"

Your comment made no sense whatsoever. Have you met OP's mother yet? You two would make a great couple.

Your mom is right if you are eating 12 bottles a day or more. Mix up your condiments -- bring some more mustard, mayo, salsa, chutney and Nutella into your diet. (Put all five of those things in a blender and puree it. . . awesome!)

#79, Nutella is a codiment?! And I thought it was a food group... sigh.

Well, ketchup has some antioxidants in there, so shouldn't that be helping something? And too much of anything is bad.

BACON

Turkey bacon

Exclaiming popular foods is not enough to get thumbs up when it doesn't even relate to the FML.

It's bacon. That's enough for me.

#85, this may be the only FML where bacon is not idolized.

Breathing causes cancer.

In some indirect ways, yes.
