Well, he's couched quite a bit of what he's preaching, but still there are logical disconnects from several of his assertions.

"Synthetic chemicals in the environment and in your food, as problematic as they may be, are not the main cause of cancer."

"The genes that you inherit from your parents are not the most important factors in determining whether you fall prey to any of the ten leading causes of death."

"The hope that genetic research will eventually lead to drug cures for diseases ignores more powerful solutions that can be employed today."

The last one here is blatantly self-serving, gratuitous rhetoric. Any one of us can construct a scenario where we can hope for future chemical cures without ignoring current treatments.
