i mean, we inhale toxic fumes, drink lead, eat hormones/antibiotics/pesticides/nitrates, not to mention bucketloads of refined sugar, and we have microplastics in our balls

is it really surprising that our bodies start attacking themselves after decades of this, while the same doesn't happen to populations that aren't perpetually exposed to all that garbage?
