Environmental and Geographic Influences on RA

I have only been diagnoised with RA a little less than 30 days. I have given alot of thought of what caused this. What enviromental thing could have triggered my RA. I am a ex smoker but for some reason my gut tells me it is something else. I think about the two homes I lived in that had high levels of toxic mold, but that was way back in 2000. Was it the cleaning up after the 2,000 chicken that I have? Could it be the Ectomycorrhizal Fungi I was using to grow a giant pumpkin? Thats about the time my symtoms started. Probably not since many people with RA don't grow giant pumpkins. It does seem alot of my problems started after I broke my wrist. I started drinking lots and lots of milk because they told me my bones where brittle and crushed. Also some experts claimed drinking milk would help me lose weight. I think I drank about 2 gallons a week. Could it be the cows milk that triggered RA in me. Maybe books like the China Study are right ????
