Greg Gerritt said...: I do not have the proof that is needed to state whaty is actually going on, but my guess, on lots of evidence, is that the spread of plastics and other toxic chemicals the last 50 years have saturated the entire planet with cancer causing substances that since they are everywhere, everyone is exposed and many become ill. The only way to deal with this craziness is is to get rid of the plastics and the chemicals. PFAS anyone? Dioxin? Glyphosate? From pole to pole we are all exposed and getting sick.
