And autoimmune diseases in general. Every time I go to a bar/restaurant, the TV is filled with drug commercials to treat these symptoms. There's something nasty in our environment and foods.

Is it a mystery? We eat pure trash, and our environment is filled with microplastics and chemicals like Teflon. Eating healthy, natural foods is a luxury in this country, which is kind of funny, since it's kind of the opposite in poor countries. Weird reversal.

It's not a wild leap to guess that letting our bodies get filled with foreign microplastics might send our auto-immune system into overdrive.
