    The century of leaded gasoline, high carbon fensity in air, and microplastics in every measurable quantity of water has nothing to do with it.

      You do realize we are exposed to way more and worse chemicals than they were in previous generations? I don’t know what world you think you are living in, that after they phased out lead they didn’t allow more and worse ones in with little to no protections, based on industry funded research that starts backwards from it’s safe to design studies.

      It’s way worse now than you realize.

        Sorry, I’m saying The same thing as you.

        We’ve never had this plastic pollution, nor rampant aerosolized lead, nor any number of chemicals we’re exposed to.

        We did something about the lead, mostly, but the amount of chemicals a human is exposed to now is unprecedented in our evolution.
