I'm not surprised with all the junk and chemicals they lace the food with! Plus the likes of weedkillers not only sprayed on the ground but also in the air so get's spread far and wide from likes of Monsanto round up which corrupts our immune system.

They and others have poisoned places like Santa monica and buried it in southern states where it's killed/killing residents but all of that get's into water table.

Many are tainted by low grade nuke from all the testing they did and do as that stuff spreads in the wind!

Plus during the wars there was little control of what got out into the population plus soldiers etc got contaminated agent orange and other stuff.

Then you have to take into consideration the effects of say WW2 with what was used/fired into air plus destroyed with likes of chemicals plants hit then later Nukes in Japan along with big accident at reactor few years back plus Russia power plant and leaks in UK at Sellerfield/Windscale which had been going on for a long time also been leaks at Dungeness and Bradwell.

There is also the Chemicals in products like toys/Cars/cleaning products and more.

Always remember there is no such thing as a Free Lunch!
