Scraping real scientific data from journal articles/headlines published in PubMed would be a lot more interesting and noteworthy.
Not to mention "causing cancer" is a bit of a misnomer. Cancer typically arises when genetic mutations cause a cell to exhibit uncontrolled and sustained division. Our cells experience thousands of mutations a day, most of which are fixed. Some of these inanimate objects may upon being metabolized or coming into contact with a cell, cause mutations. With more mutations, you are at a higher risk for one to go unrepaired and lead to something other than cell death. Colloquially, I understand we refer to certain things as causing cancer but I think the idea of grouping everything into discrete boxes isn't really something worth pursuing in this case.
