You eat the damn things.

It's not just they're on the surface.

You can wash some of that away, but they're impregnated part of the structure of the berry.

Berries, apples, pears, peaches, and funnily, spinach are really bad.

And at the top end, the bananas and the oranges and the melons are fine.

So if you eat these damn things, they're designed to kill our cousins, the insects and the weeds and the funguses.

Why would you expect them not to do a terrible job on humans?

And we stuff them in our system.

And the fetus, it turns out, is 100 to 1,000 times more vulnerable than we are out in the world.

For example, if your mother smokes, it's going to do about the same damage as if you smoked for the rest of your life.

And you think about what the fetus is plugged into the system and how it's forming everything.

It doesn't seem the most unreasonable thing that it would be much more sensitive.

And there are people out there

fussing quite reasonably about the first thousand days of life.

But actually, that is nothing like as important as the 270 days in the womb.

And yet we avoid the topic.

We avoid the topic because it's pessimistic.

We're not fighting the data.

We don't want to talk about it.

We don't want to talk about bear markets.
