I figured by the time we were adults we'd have a ton of chemicals in our blood, but as newborns? I guess I shouldn't be surprised because they get their Moms' blood.

But I am surprised that 200 industrial chemicals is that common.

I'll have to review the Bill Moyers show. I remember being surprised how many industrial chemicals were found in his blood.
