When you look at what we have to go through to get to the average age of 72 it is clear that we are not moving very fast in a positve way toward a better life style,ie;Look at our teeth for instance most of us in todays world would probably die of some tooth infection before we turn 20 without dentists. Primitive societies,even ones that have existed of late don't even need dentists. Local natives on the west coast of Canada lived to an average age of 62, died with all their teeth never had a dentist and seldom got sick from anything other than the odd bit of food poisoning usually due to eating rotten food. They had a habit of enjoying some of their food in a rancid state.

Don't believe a word of it. No sign that all the added "poisons" have gone along with anything other than a longer life span on average. Cancers are up because there are more people around at an older age to develop cancer. Who has been know to die from plastics or the usual use of pesticides? Same crap argument goes for air pollution. It was much worse 50 years ago and from what I read 150 years ago--now people are living longer and the tree huggers are complaining louder. Who ever died of air pollution lately? Don't get a flu shot because they have mercury in them? About the same amount of mercury as in a can of tuna. A whole load of rubbish. Even the whiners are living longer to complain longer
