Who cares anymore? The whole world is doomed. We’re all exposed to everything!

Think about a lifetime of X-Rays, cell phones, city water, pollution in the air, all the crap in the foods over our lifetimes, germs on money, medications, plastic water bottles, our clothes, laundry detergent.

We just have to do the best we can when we can. But the damage is done.
Yes, imagine when we had none of all the things you listed 200 years ago.. people died at 50

Bodybuilders die before 50 nowadays.

Bhanky is on borrowed time.

Are bodybuilders supposed to put honey or splenda on top of their french toast?

They shouldn't be eating french toast. Too many carbs.

The meat most Anericans eat not only has lots of antibiotics in it, but also loads of injected hormones. I guess that's why most Americans are so short. They have been eating meat full of injected hormones since childhood.

Are these facts? Euros don't use any antibiotics for their animals? I don't know, I'm asking.

I wish they injected our meat supply with trenbolone. I'd be very jacked!

Isn't it used in the US anymore? I'm sure you've eaten trenbolone treated meat. The idea is that it's out by the time of slaughter. Otherwise lots of athletes would be failing drug tests. You know in the 90s the bodybuilders' trenbolone came from veterinary animal implants which could easily be bought at vet supply stores.

Decades ago some people, I think in Spain, ended up in the hospital because the liver they ate was full of clenbuterol. It was used for the same reason trenbolone is used in the US.

I imagine it would clear the system through the digestive track as opposed to being injected.

I definitely get what you’re saying and I’m not discrediting you. But it’s not quite accurate. My grandparents lived to be in their high 90s. Here in the USA we consider anyone over 96 to be elderly. Not sure about your island in the UK territories and what is considered golden age milestone age. Lots of people in the news who also turned 100 and even over 100. Doctors used to promote smoking as healthy. Back in history, kids used to play with mercury and the smog has always been around. Everyone has been exposed to carcinogens and pollutions of some sort all throughout history. It’s the luck of the draw if you don’t get affected or if you’re selected to become sick from the secret machine that rules the world. With all we’re up against, I don’t think it’s worthwhile to worry about sweeteners.

If you make it past the childhood diseases and avoid accidental death you can live a long time.

I recall playing with mercury as a kid. Not a lot but did it.  Usually got it from thermometers.

Also messed with asbestos my father had laying around.  Seeing if it would burn.

The heating ducts in our house were covered in asbestos.  House was built in the late 40s.

When they finally got a new gas furnace they had the asbestos removed almost completely but there were still a few bits in places.

My grandparents house was built in the 20s and they still had the original (converted to an oil burner) coal burning octopus furnace.

That thing was encased in asbestos like a mummy.

Having asbestos on the old furnaces and the heating ducts was an issue when you went to sell your house.

You would find a local furnace guy who come in and he would wet it down and strip it off, bag it, then put it in a dumpster someplace.

Did he wear a hazmat suit and respirator?  Heck no.

The person who bought the house was none the wiser and the bank would give the mortgage.

Agreed. I never played with mercury, but I do recall using mercury thermometers. Weren’t there even infamous mercury toys and radioactive science kits? My residence is filled with mold and
Asbestos. It was the way of the olden times.

We have mercury thermometers in our first aid kit and also the new digital ones.  No hazard in a mercury thermometer as long as it's intact.
Asbestos removal was a big thing in the 80s. 
Very expensive to have it done.  Hazmat suits, respirators, taken to a special dump 60 miles away, etc.
However, if you knew a guy who new a guy you could get it removed on the down low.
Regular people just couldn't afford to go the $$ route.
Lead paint in the old houses (pre-1970 usually) was also an issue.  Kids would eat the chips, particularly in the poor neighborhoods where the parents didn't watch their kids.
Lookup how cars burning leaded gas affected the population years ago.  They say it lowered IQs by a significant amount due to lead's affect on the brain.

Really? Mold filling the residence?

Sometimes mildew builds up in the shady areas along the outside walls of my house or garage. When it shows up, I hit it with a power washer.

Thank you both for the info. I was told about the mold and absestos in my cellar by service tech who was horrified. The electrical pane is also a ticking time bomb in the cellar as well. So there is a lot to work on. At least the spider, bats, and bee infestations are now under control.

In my area the growth of algae on exterior siding is very common.  Usually on the north sides of the houses.
Very humid and hot summers.
I get it only on the north side.  Like you, I clean it off every year.
Some people don't tend to it and it gets pretty bad.

I think there is always mold or mildew in a house to some degree.
The bad kind is inside your walls where you can't see it.
It doesn't bother most people but some are highly sensitive to it.
Use a dehumidifier in your basement to keep humidity levels down.
Any water intrusion must be addressed immediately and cleaned up and the area dried.
Like a basement flooding.  Finished basements are prone to mold growth as the walls are enclosed.
You need to run a dehumidifier to keep the humidity level down.
If you get a basement flood you might have to cut open the drywall to really dry it out.
Don't get a flooded basement.
Have a backup sump pump and test it regularly.

My area has a high water table.  There are people in my neighborhood who constantly get flooded basements.
It's like being on a ship where the bilge pumps out constantly.
You see the rolled up carpets out for trash pickup.
Their sump pump fails and they get a flood.
I put in a back up sump pump and an alarm.
It has been activated quite a few times over the years.
Have gone through a number of regular electric sump pumps too.  They last 3-5 years if I'm lucky as they run 9 months out of the year.
I keep an extra pump on hand.

Steroids such as trenbolone acetate have some oral bioavailability, might be as high as 10%. Tren A has been sold as tablets but never tried, not cost effective. Drug tests pick up extremely minute traces and athletes have blamed their meat though I think all lost their cases.
