Dishwashers are not a new thing, so there should not be a correlation.

Perhaps it is the new detergents? I don't know.

The popular brands have extremely strong smell and I assume very strong chemicals. We use "Attitude" that supposed to be milder.

"Should not be a correlation" is a weird thing to say. A quick glance shows dishwasher use has been steadily increasing over time.

Only got a dishwasher 4 years ago, my entire life I've been doing dishes by hand. I believe it. Someone elsewhere in this thread that mentioned a study on how rinse aids can cause health issues:

Wonder how many other every day chemicals we interacted with have long time side effects that we're slowing finding out about.
