And yet the stuff that really affects human such as air pollution, microplastics everywhere oh and the big one climate change gets nothing… ahhh! Our human brains cannot grasp big stuff..
Beautiful transition throughout this piece Doc… perspective is vital when evaluating any ounce of data. It stuns me how easily the masses are influenced by their flashy, trend-setting, streaming self-published reels. Equally I observe this with my 20-sumthin’ daughter & her BFF - aghast at how easily they are influenced by click-bait culture. Sharing their newest trinket of useless, harmful & invaluable information that their views are molded by. I am encouraged that they are opening their eyes to question the world that surrounds them. Wishing they would continue to explore, instead of just quenching their thirst at the first watering hole that pops up in their feed. Proving to highlight my next layover, albeit my duty as a wiser & more experienced mama, to incinerate the veil that clouds their vision. I supplant questions in effort of encouraging their musings in contradiction to the newest, shiniest bit of deleterious junk they are believing to be novel. In many ways it was easier to assume this maternal role when I could directly shape their outlook. Now I have to craft my tongue to deliver it’s message in a way that won’t annihilate our connection, while respecting that they are entitled to their own path of discovery.
After all the world I will leave behind will be ALL theirs one day… I shutter at the thought of a 2nd-term of either of these geezers. Mad respect for Biden’s sense of duty, but his time to leave while ‘on top’ has expired. At the bare minimum I feel the parties (DNC & RNC) owe the people reasonable nominees, to which both candidates have overserved their functional capacity. At least if Biden could tip the scales in his favor, then perhaps Kamala might be positioned by default. Trump is following too closely along the lines of Hitler’s regime, and yet so many fail to make the distinction of how we still have a shot of shutting him permanently down.
Really enjoyed this read. My patients in Gyn Oncology have been asking about this in clinic as well as the sexual health practice I run for cancer patients. Thank you so much for the references and breaking it down from a research perspective. The comparison with the regulations set for metals within a bottle of water will be easy for patients to understand and one that I can use, so thank you so much!! Keep doing your work, it is so appreciated!

Sadly very accurate
