Chuck, your memoir was one of the things I've most enjoyed reading on PPRuNe for a while and I'd like to read more. I disagree that DDT restrictions are likely to have killed millions but I mean it as just that: a disagreement - nothing more.
Rather than adding post upon post, I've added a few further links to my previous post in the hope that the rest of the thread can move on.
abgd, you've posted a large number of claims there. Is your reason for now wanting the thread to "move on" is you don't want your 'claims' exposed as bunkum ? Perhaps you should remove your post if you dont want the claims challenged...
Lets have a look at one of your links...
"...The scientists reported that DDT may have a variety of human health effects, including reduced fertility, genital birth defects, breast cancer, diabetes and damage to developing brains. Its metabolite, DDE, can block male hormones..."
Ah yes, that catch all "MAY HAVE"
Seems to me i've seen similar claims made about the sugary western diet and food container plastics...
I'll look further if the post stays...
