Then they ran blood tests and we're shocked to learn that their baby's blood was a chemical soup no better than their own. They avoiding plastics, used cotton clothing, ate organics, etc. it just didn't matte.

My dad died this week at age 79. He drank and smoked until his late 40s/early 50s. My mom died when she was in her 40s and lived the same way (which means I "smoked" their second had smoke until I left for college but have never smoked nor been drunk nor taken any illicit drugs...I don't even like OTC or prescribed drugs). Sometimes it's a crapshoot no matter what you do...at best you stack the odds in your favor by eating right and working out.

TimothyO,

Sorry about your Dad. Mine is end of days as well, circle of life...

Shocking about that baby. I'm trying to stay active, exercise a fair bit. Hopefully keep the Reaper at bay as long as possible.

Stay well

Thanks guys. One of those situations where it was truly "for the best" at the end. Wouldn't wish his fate on anyone.
