Stress. It explains the skyrocketing obesity, diabetes, cardiac disease, anxiety and depression rates, erectile dysfunction, libido issues, low sperm quantity and quality, even IBS.

Interestingly, the stress may be a result of inequality. There is a clear causal link from social position to levels of stress hormones- the lower your social position the more stressed you are.
