  >Think of all the kids of the 60th and 70th. They must be immune to most toxins ;).

60th and 70th what?? :)

But seriously though, "immune" is a humorous exaggeration, but I'm not sure we have data to rule out the idea that this cohort has increased tolerance to some environmental toxins.

So it's possible the level of harm we see today is already "post-" this protective effect, if any.

GP means that from the 1960s to the 1970s many people in his part of the world were deliberately putting "toxins" in their bodies.

He means that the hippie generation and disco generation took a lot of drugs.

		I figured, just a joke playing off their typo (hence the smiley). There were plenty of non-"drug" toxins people were exposed to where levels peaked around that time — leaded gasoline, early food contact plastics with unsafe additives, pesticides that are now banned, etc. But thanks Nancy Reagan. ;)

		Humans put toxins into their bodies for the entire history of humankind.
