You know what else we also didn't poison ourselves with at anywhere NEARLY as high a level as boomers did? Lead.

    Now we just consume lead trough plant based protein supplements

    That is still a very worrying sentence when the only safe level is 0

    Safe level is zero but there's a gradient of severity

    of course. I'm alluding to the fact that while theres been a significant improvement, we still in many places consume worrying amounts of lead.

    originally i wanted to write that we didn't have lead exposure, but ...

    Flint Michigan. and that's actually not even the worst municipal water system by far. That's merely the one that got a little more publicity than most.

    It's nice that we don't have fumes from leaded gasoline, generally speaking--that it's no longer the standard and most household sector products that use fuel don't take leaded gasoline.
