I seem to remember from my petrol tanker driving days that the unleaded fuel posed a much greater risk to health. We were told when it was introduced that one good lungful of unleaded fumes was enough for cancer. I used to try and hold my breath when delivering and when filling my own tank!
I agree that the great majority of conspiracy theories are no more than a sometimes entertaining diversion but I also believe it's a bit silly to completely ignore them all without any investigation.
We had lead water pipes in our house when I was a kid, there was even lead in the saucepans but it was bread that was the worse. It turns out that eating bread is in fact fatal! Empiric research has proven that everyone who eats bread dies. So we're all doomed anyway.
