"EARTH, AND ALL LIFE ON IT. ARE BEING SATURATED WITH MAN-MADE CHEMICALS...FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE EARTH'S HISTORY A SINGLE SPECIES-OURSELVES-IS POISONING THE ENTIRE PLANET...IT IS ARGUABLY THE MOST UNDER-RATED, UNDER-INVESTIGATED AND POORLY UNDERSTOOD OF ALL THE EXISTENTIAL THREATS THAT HUMANS FACE IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY.(JULIAN CRIBB, SURVIVING THE 21ST CENTURY,SPRINGER PUBLISHING/SWITZERLAND,P.106)

While I certainly can't argue with the statements regarding the epigenetic impact of chemicals on the human species, there are certainly other factors to take into consideration when looking at the 150 mil people with chronic disease in this country. Science would be hard pressed to pin it down to any one specific area of influence.

In 1900, the average life expectancy of the white American male was only 47 years. The entire US population was only a little over 76 mil. People didn't live long enough then to see chronic disease or to survive it for long.

Today, due to our continuing growth of understanding in the areas of nutrition and medical science, the average life expectancy of the same white American male is 76.4 years. There are more than 100 mil people over the age of 50 alive in the US today. That's more than the entire US population a century ago. So, there are more people living with conditions that were untreatable a century ago also.

And, since there are obvious epigenetic impacts on us as a species, it also stands to reason that (and I say this with the assumption that we all believe in some form of evolution) the human genome will evolve and adapt to these changes being wrought upon us by our own poisonous concoctions. Survival of the fittest will win out eventually and those with a dominant ability to to adapt to Atrazine and Glyphosate will survive and create offspring that will have no adverse affects to it's use.

Chemicals have been dumped in our water for so long , that it's gotten into everyone's system to the point that it's showing up in nursing mother's milk and has been for a long time .Millenials , were poisoned since before birth . There's a valid reason for things being the way they are .

Yes. Chemicals have been dumped since the beginning of the industrial revolution. The deregulation fanatics, especially of the current administration happily nudged by businessmen getting rich off chemicals is accelerating this horror. Everything Trump does increases poison and deaths. "clean coal" runoff is full of mercury. How about some of that in your margarita? Or local swimming hole??

@Healthydoc70 Agree 100%.
