Great news! Pesto does not cause cancer!

News reports that young basil plants contain a carcinogen appear to have been overblown. You may resume eating your Mediterranean diet.

"And with all the crap that's going round is it really necessary to beat up on pesto? Okay, we're not professors. But we've been making pesto like this for centuries."

I thought the traditional way of making pesto was to beat up on it. Oh, well.
