I was recently on Facebook when a friend of a friend posted this chart. He paired it with a query: Is this due to something we ate? Or something injected in us. Presumably he was referring to food additives and vaccinations. Many of the comments that followed opined that it’s probably a combination of both factors… I began to do some checking, and I quickly found more answers about why rates in the chart had risen so much. Basically, the list of disease burden is bogus, it’s totally wrong, made up, fabricated.
