Neurological and Immune Reactive Conditions Affecting Kids:

A recent report by the National Research Council found that 50% of all pregnancies in the U.S. are now resulting in prenatal or postnatal mortality, significant birth defects, developmental disabilities or otherwise chronically unhealthy babies(3). Recent if you consider 2000 to be recent. The liars forgot to quote the next couple of sentences from the report: "Exposure to toxic chemicals, both manufactured and natural, cause about 3 percent of all developmental defects, and at least 25 percent might be the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors". 3%. That's 3% of defects. A problem, but not the half of all births as suggested by the anti-chemical fruitcakes. And see the words "natural" and "genetic". Not a lot of Big Chemi there. See a media release about the report at http://www8.nationalacademies.org/on...?RecordID=9871, but beware - it comes from very *organised science*. -- Peter Bowditch aa #2243 The Millenium Project http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles Australian Council Against Health Fraud http://www.acahf.org.au Australian Skeptics http://www.skeptics.com.au To email me use my first name only at ratbags.com |

It's not nice to do that with those who would flunk something so basic as "Intro to Logic" or "Intro to Critical Thinking." How about Intro to Bio? http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Biology/7-...Home/index.htm |
