It's not a "risk" it's a "hazard assement".
It's not a food safety agency it's just the World Health Organization's cancer research arm.
This certainly doesn't stir up mistrust.

Actual answer: use food-grade wood oils like walnut oil, tung oil (not a blend), or raw linseed oil. Not boiled linseed oil, it's not food safe and spontaneously combusts. Wood dust is in 1, so just wear a respirator or even a mask when doing sanding or other woodworking. Oils were listed in order of my recommendation from easiest to find and work with to least easy.
All three of these options (and hot beverages, meaning any time water is at or above 65c/147f) are in 2a which is "probably carcinogenic." So, soup or even just heated up water is in the same class along with coffee, mate, or tea. Raw water isn't even rated because that shit'll kill you dead, honey. Get a Reverse Osmosis filter, don't run hot water through it, and be cognizant of the pipes between your filter system and your non-leaded glass.
Just go outside for a little bit when you can. Literally like 10 minutes is enough.
