    I quote from the referenced article:

    "The study is offered with some caveats. It is observational and not large or long enough to confirm a direct link from DDE to diabetes. There was no control group to compare against the participants' dietary (or other) behaviors."

    This is just poor science, if it can be called science at all. Although the article is titled "Study Links Diabetes to Banned Chemical Pesticide DDT", the article itself says above that it does not confirm such a link for the reasons stated. It appears that ABC 7's "green" reporter needed something to fill her agenda and found this study.
    We see a lot of that from the greenies these days.
     
  2. Hey Pal, I'm not going to sit here and argue with you about a lethal substance that was BANNED thirty five years ago. You can bath in it if you think it's such great stuff for all I care.

    I'm here to enjoy 'Vintage shots from days gone by!'

    One of the basit tenets of medical science and research is what is termed "risk-benefit analysis". DDT has almost certainly caused medical complications for some people. Perhaps you should weigh the number of lives saved from the most dangerous vector on the planet vs. complications (to say nothing of it's contribution to the war effort in WWII controlling typhus). Sure, there are agents available now that present less risk, however DDT was essentially alone (and remains unmatched) among effective agents for at least two decades.

    Perhaps all those people who owe their lives to it's introduction should be made to apologize to every bird or reptile who's egg shell got thinnned, or every person who may have been made more susceptible to other complications?

    Moral purity is mighty difficult to attain, and life is full of difficult choices.

    The Nash appears to be a '52,3 or 4, but no Hudson engines were ever factory installed in a Nash. That's one way the marques retained their own identity after the merger, commencing with the 1955 models.
     
  8. These driving simulators were eliminated in 1969 when the boys had to repeat the course because of simulator crashes caused by the students inattention.

    They discovered the increased incidents when the instructors started wearing mini-skirts!!!

    :eek:
    :D
