I read this as suggesting it may be better to wash in plain water as
much as possible.

Certainly avoid the chemicals in modern bathroom products.

But the refs to seratonin and neurology deserve research. Different gene
pools have different ratios of men with higher testosterone & adrenalin
along with lower seratonin and dopamine. Then too....

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090605123237.htm
Which suggests why some gene pools have more streetgangs. But we
can go on and look at the whole spectrum of psychopathologies and see
them as responses to DNA and chemical exposure or nutritional deficit.

http://daybrown.org/village/village.htm outlines economic traits of
village life. But lets remember most of us descend from 10,000 years of
agrarian village life and dont really adapt that well to urban masses.
Cities are too recent to be the natural hominid habitat, and when these
other causes- pathogens, chemicals, nutrition, are added in, we get a
clue as to why so many posters are nuts.

"Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't . . ."

We are SO much more than pathogens, chemicals, and so on.

Some of us just fight the famine a little bit better than others.

Eat well -- help others eat well -- and PROSPER !

HUNGER is the single most dangerous thing in all the world.
And over a billion people, mostly children and the elderly, go
to bed hungry every single night. (source: FAO)

Eat well -- help others eat well -- and PROSPER !

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Without affordably delivering renewable energy to most every populated
area on Earth, as a supposed intelligent species we're kinda screwed
unless the growth of our global population can be reversed by a
significant amount. A reduction of perhaps 0.1% or 6.8e6/year would
seem doable.

WW3 could start this human culling off with a bang, so to speak.
Otherwise we need to get serious about intelligent engineering and
perhaps otherwise intelligent design in charge of future generations.
The last thing we need are wealthy humans living to the ripe old age
of 200.
