Def from nano plastics.

I'd look at stress indicators first. Nano plastics have a lot of issues, but it's not a silver bullet. We live in a world where most people are constantly stressed out.

First hand I've seen stress cause physical changes. Never realized how bad it can get.

Stress maybe; sedentism definitely.

The sperm decline coincides with the decline in male jobs which involved being on your feet as a proportion of total jobs.

Lower sperm counts as well as lower testosterone levels in men have definitely been associated with obesity, and there's no question that's a problem these days.

Don't those seated office jobs also weaken the relationship between work done and results achieved? And make shifting internal politics a major factor in advancement?

Feeling ineffectual and not knowing who you can trust seem like pretty major stressors to me.

Less stressed then before? I don't need to put a harvest in the ground to avoid starvation next winter. I don't need to worry about the neighboring tribe burning down my village and murdering me. I haven't lost 6 children in childbirth.

I wouldn't be surprised if humans have fewer real stressors than ever.

Estrogen emitters, endocrine disrupting junk including plastics, hops, receipt paper, and tons of other everyday items and foods.

Lack of True Rest//Recovery.

Stress//clinical symptoms of anxiousness, caused or worsened by the above.

5G should be added to your list.

Definitely 5G
