The red pill on this issue came when I was reading studies on the health of the Amish - they have nearly non-existent SIDS and extremely low rates of cancer. The leaders often tell "doctors" wishing to compel some vaccination or health campaign on the Amish that their community is in better shape than the English (non-Amish).
Its also because they aren't handling chemicals and fertilizers etc. Every day people come into contact with chemicals like detergents or aerosolized particles from the construction site next door to their office that an Amish person doesn't come in contact with at all.
Some of the newer fertilizers have shit in them that I wouldn't give to my worst enemy. Worse, with some of this crap that big corporations use in industrial farming we don't actually even know what's in it.
My grandfather died of prostate cancer. He farmed for most of his 80 years of life. Why is it that almost no one else in the whole family(20-30 people) has died of cancer but the one person with the most exposure did? Hmmmm...

Natural fertilizers aren’t the issue, synthetic pesticides are.
