If they get society to accept these illnesses, and disorders as normal, they will not be held responsible.

Some evidence for the claim, see these articles, and quotes about the chemical Atrazine, and Bisphenol A:

In 2007, the EPA said, "studies thus far suggest that atrazine is an endocrine disruptor." The implications for children's health are related to effects during pregnancy and during sexual development, though few studies are available.

Atrazine has been a suspected teratogen, with some studies reporting causing demasculinization in male northern leopard frogs even at low concentrations, and an endocrine disruptor.

The heath effects of BPA have been the subject of prolonged public and scientific debate, with pubmed listing more that 16,000 scientific papers as of 2022. Concern is mostly related to its estrogen-like activity, although it can interact with other receptor systems as an endocrine-disrupting chemical. These interactions are all very weak, but exposure to BPA is effectively lifelong, leading to concern over possible cumulative effects.
