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?

By your definition we don't know yet. Ask again in 10 years.

Except the sad fact is in every one of those examples, they did know. It's just nobody cared because it would hurt the bottom line.

Or they didn’t care because they succumbed to the arguments made by the people who were protecting their own bottom line.
