10. Exactly, what we eat. Except that's not as easy as it once was to know.
Likewise, our physiology evolved over millennia, however, our lifestyle changes and the increased availability of food is a relatively recent phenomenon of the past couple of centuries. And therein lies the main problems. We evolved as roaming and opportunistic creatures who ate what was in season and more often than not, foods of the herbaceous variety. Now we eat too much meat and processed foods containing ingredients that we can't even pronounce, let alone know what they actually are. And most of the foods that we do eat have been injected with medicines because they're raised in filth.

All the while, the other poisons that the chemical industry has been allowed to expose the entire population to also factors-in to the equation. Particularly since these chemicals often negatively impact upon our bodies ability to properly replicate our own organ's cells -- resulting in diseases like diabetes in some cases, the dysfunction of reproductive systems and/or cancer (like with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus_type_2#Lifestyle">bisphenol A).

- And when we get sick after our bodies have been inundated with this crap for years, they give us more chemicals with side effects that sometimes almost as bad as the disease we're trying to treat.
