Do bronze or brass alloys cause birth defects or cancer?

I was still living in California when Prop. 65, which requires such labeling, passed. First place I saw the "substances known to cause cancer are inside this buidling" sign was on the door of the local Safeway grocery store!
 
I go diagonally across the continent to an annual conference in San Diego; last year I saw this plaque posted inside the entrance of the conference centre...I'd say you don't have to worry :).

Does all this mean that when the "big" one hits and California falls into the ocean we will have finally found a cure for cancer?
 
Drat- now I have to throw out my copper salad dressing.

Even though water is absolutely necessary for sustaining life, it has been proven to be toxic in large amounts.

Hey! I know what this thread needs.... More sarcasm!

I don't feel we need to worry about exposure to brass leading to cancer. As shooters & reloaders, lead exposure would be more of a concern.
