Its an urban legend. The fact is, that with all the chemicals and drugs used today people live longer and healthier lives than ever.
Its not to say that certain drugs are not over-prescribed or misused.

well maybe i worded that a bit wrong,
what I mean is a lot of the drugs prescribed today wouldn't be needed if people ate right and exercised regularly, the medications they take are a poor unhealthy alternative to correcting the root problem.
and there also have been studies that correlate a lot of the most commonly used drugs with negative health effects down the road. and studies about vaccinations which are strongly linked to being the cause of many things we suffer from today. allergies / colds / general sickness.
i think the use of all these medications is simply rampant, our body has its own immune system which will handle nearly all of our problems fine on its own. people are too quick to take action with medication, USA being the leader, and ironically enough we're also the leader of being one of the most unhealthy countries as well.
