Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

Aside from tobacco, all of those things were known to be dangerous but used commercially anyway because they were cheaper than alternatives. Today's equivalents are PFAS, plastics, and sweeteners of every kind. You will die with all of them in your body.
They're finding microplastics everywhere now. Even like inside apples and stuff: the plastic somehow travels up the tree into the fruit
Somehow? This rock, and most everything on it, is almost completely water. Microplastics are in "the water", therefore they're in everything.
