Impact of changes in food preservation and agriculture on human health

Traditional food preservation methods like fermentation were replaced by refrigeration in the 1950s, leading to a decline in gut health. The introduction of herbicides, pesticides, and antibiotics in agriculture further deteriorated the ecosystem of health, which resulted in the sudden acceleration of ecosystem collapse and global warming. This, in turn, led to the emergence of chronic disease epidemics such as autism, asthma, eczema, and attention deficit disorder in the 1990s. The practice of spraying wheat with glyphosate in 1992 led to the rise of gluten sensitivity, which is attributed to glyphosate sensitivity caused by poisoning from the agricultural system.
