Water isn't dangerous but if you were dropped into the middle of the ocean you would probably drown. Does that mean you must swear off water because it's proven to be dangerous since people drown in it?

Not a fair analogy since in one case the water is acting chemically and in the other it is physically obstructing. Potatoes are good for you but if someone shot one out of a cannon at your face it might not be.
