The more we continue to pollute the air the more prominent these symptoms are going to be.
At this point, the pollution is all through our soil and water, not just the air. And FYI - numerous studies have shown the genetic effects. ...The
hold up is political - and the game is about demanding "proof" for direct cause-and-effect relationships, when the real problems are caused by the
combined effects of different contaminations.
...The Environmental Genome Project (EGP not Human Genome Project) was set up in 1997 for this very purpose. ...EGP research has tracked the genetic
effects of all kinds of contaminations and shows that the obesity epidemic for example, results from the combined effects of different kinds of
contamination.
Our legacy is not good - and it's not just our children who are paying. Already, "age-related" illnesses that used not to affect people til their
70's or 80's are knocking people down in their 40's. ....Cancer just bumped heart disease as America's #1 killer - and last year the stats already
showed that 1 in 2 American men will get cancer, and 1 in 3 women.
...The writing is on the wall - the effects go way beyond health to Social Security, "the economy" and beyond - and the 'future' is now....
