Fair question. I hope someone can answer it. Another fair question is 
does the out break of some of these diseases have any thing to do with 
the "Body Burden"?

All those unnatural chemicals that our environment seems to  be awash in 
these days. (DDT in Antarctica? When did they have trouble with insects? 
We live in a closed biosphere. What goes up in one place in the world, 
comes down in another.) Is it just a coincidence that type II diabetes 
began to spread after the introduction of high-fructose-corn syrup?
It seems reasonable to question what appears a correlation between the 
introduction of a new farming paradigm and food production and the 
sudden concurent onset of health problems.
