I dunno, do you think that maybe some of these “artificial” chemicals could actually have beneficial effects?

If you have cancer, I don’t think your life expectancy is increasing every year.

Mainly due to reduced infant mortality, actually; but I agree in principle. IOW, DDT is a good thing.

.
It isn’t!

The upper life expectancy level hasen’t changed for 2000 years or more. The young risk takers changes in behavior will nudge overall statistics up or down from time to time, but the life expectancy of a person that shuns medical intervention has remained at 89 years for millenia.

And we are exposed to more and more chemicals every year.
