No I am completely aware of the effects thank you very much. The -whole-
human superbug problem played out exactly as I just posted above. If you do not believe me, then by all means do your own research. And for what its worth, there are a -ton- of misinformed (or otherwise) doctors out there who forgot the science that got them to where they are.

So if this is not a media frenzy, why the sudden mass exposure of data that are years old? This information has been circulated in the scientific literature for many years now yet there has been almost no reaction - until recently. We haven't just now 'stumbled' onto this as you suggest - lol.
We have studied the effects of low-level hormone exposure in humans for -years- now. We know many of the effects, both beneficial and harmful. Similarly, science has been studying the effect of low-level exposure to many other drugs in our food and water, but these studies have not enjoyed the same duration of study as the hormone studies.
Bioactive drugs do not remain in the body either in their pure form, or as metabolites for very long (few exceptions, but they are engineered that way). So this 'build up' argument it false at this level. What you -may- be tying to explain is something called bioaccumulation. This is certainly a problem, as I glossed over in my first post.

Ok, this pretty much indicates that any intelligent reply to your post is in vain.

People were dying of "natural causes" back then at a much higher frequency. Now just imagine medicine was able to properly recognize less 'visible' forms of cancer and could have properly attributed these deaths to cancer?
Yes, I believe that we are in a more cancer-prone environment now more than ever .. but cancer has -always- existed in biology.

I have a combined honors degree in Biology and Biotechnology specializing in functional microbial biochemistry. I am currently working towards a master's degree in bioorganic chemistry with a focus on enzyme product based active-site characterization in eukaryotes using cryptoregiostereochemistry.
I happen to have read many hundreds of scientific papers on environmental microbiology and chemistry. How much more informed / "qualified" do I need to be?
No offense taken. What's your background aside from paranoia?
