Pretty sure we're gonna regret the micro plastics.

Literally everything to do with modern life.

I'm not saying that we should all pull a BSG and give it all up to be cavemen again.

But our bodies most certainly didn't evolve in order to sit at desks, stare at screens, communicate without physical contact, and avoid sunshine like the plague.

We evolved to be active, but developed the technology that allows most of us to be sedentary 99% of the time, and then we wonder why obesity and chronic back pain are pandemics.

Sugar

vapes

It feels like the WHO - or more realistically - the media is/was trying hard to make aspartame this by claiming it causes cancer. They're certainly annoying the soft drinks vendors using them.

Great avatar btw.

We've known lead is bad for you for thousands of years.

Perhaps microplastic? I know it already kills by choking turtles or so but no answer yet if it can cause some health effects.

Edit: Just saw the comments now, microplastic seem to be the most common comment. So here is another go, The chemical they used in cars I think it's VOC/ also known as new car smell currently it can make some people sea sick. Right now there is lack of study that it is actually toxic.

Complete shot in the dark but my brain can't let it be (also fuck it, thats the point of this topic):

Surfactants, specifically modern soap and soap products. I strongly suspect that petroleum based soaps cause damage and issues.

When you wash your glasses in a dishwasher, pour some water in after it is dried. Look at how many bubbles are formed on the surface. Pour it out and do it again - usually there will be less bubbles. That means you are ingesting leftover detergent that wasn't rinsed off. Can't be great for you.

The toxic substance put in nearly all the plastics made in China. If it smells sickeningly sweet or fumey, it's toxic.

Most Vegetable and seed oils. They are a silent killer and they are in everything now including French fries to replace beef tallow.

There's hardly a processed food that does not contain them and they are terrible for cardiovascular health.

Along with the fake sugars and sugar substitutes they will be among the things we will look back on and ask why.

PFAS, microplastics, intrusive advertising
