[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 3978524, member: 718"] We've had 40 years of extensive and intensive use to find out and there is no evidence of any harm to human health. Even water is toxic if ingested in inappropriate doses. The 'precautionary principle' is a completely discredited system that is an excuse for stopping all development 'just in case'. A luddite's charter. It stifles human progress. Someone mentioned DDT earlier on, obviously oblivious to the fact that it is still in use and saves countless lives every year. Same goes for Thalidomide, which is a very significant weapon against certain skin conditions and cancer, including leprosy. It is widely used, including by the NHS in the UK. Point being that tests were not as rigorous until the 1970's as they are since, and that appropriate use provides significant benefits from even these demonised compounds. [/QUOTE]
