I can really appreciate this perspective and is there some happy medium where we all appreciate the innovations of the recent past while continuing to improve upon our collective health?

I relate to many of the commenters here. I definitely get mom guilt and anxiety when I read new studies and data often. However, what’s really frustrating for me is that this data is out there, making many parents very worried, and yet the government seemingly does very little to protect us from corporations selling us food and self care products that are full of toxins. I understand that effects are cumulative but I see so many seemingly very healthy people experiencing devastating effects at a young age – many young couples that are going through IVF or simply cannot conceive at all, friends with daughters that are prematurely experiencing puberty, friends getting deadly colorectal or breast cancer in their 30s, the list goes on. It is terrifying as a parent of toddlers and I just wish I saw more being done by the people who are supposed to be representing and protecting us at the highest levels in our government.
