Yes, the problem with comparing the study on mice to people is that mice iterate much quicker than humans.
Generation time in (lab) mice is about 9-11 weeks, while in humans living in modern societies it takes between 20 and 30 years.
To have actual consequences on society at large we need to wait at least two generations, so obviously in such a long period of time people won't notice the build up, like they do in the short time span it takes for mice.
It happened with climate change too.
