    One area of failed research has been the connection of pesticides, herbicides and heavy metal exposure leading to possible genetic alterations and/or mental illness. There are about 65,000 chemicals in the environment that have NEVER been tested individually, let alone in combination. Aluminum and mercury are both known to be neurotoxins in humans other mammals, fish, reptiles and insects. What about all the other chemicals? NO ONE has taken the time to test these substances for their neurotoxic or possible genetic effects. Why not? Time to open up research into this area and see just how we have been poisoning ourselves.
