I think there is very little meat on the bone here. Possible? Sure! Certain? Hardly.

Of course we’re going to start turning up chemicals in our bodies that weren’t there before we started using them. And the increased prevalence guarantees that they will be there more often when you look for them in people with e.g. liver cancer. But so what?

And taking about a rate of a disease is easily confounded by more frequent and more sensitive testing.

Likely this is just in the very large bucket of studies that pick up spurious correlations. But like all of them - maybe it’s not spurious!
