Barb,

I had a similar experience. The reason that story from Australia Jeanine

posted mad me mad is because the PR firms that have been hired to help gut

environmental protections are repeating half-baked ideas like that - that

toxins are actually good for you, in news stories all over the globe.

Its not just in the media. They hire armies of stay-at-home housewives to

troll the Internet and post theories like that to blogs and mailing lists

too!

If they can sow doubt, or at least create enough ambiguity for some very

dishonest and sinister people to claim that the jury is still out on these

things, they know they can win the PR war.

Because their goal is merely to PREVENT CHANGE.. They know that barring a

personal experience with them, like us, most people DESPERATELY want to

believe less disturbing things like their 'hormesis' garbage -, because the

truth - that even low levels of many of these popular, profitable toxins

cause measurable increases in human illness, is so very disturbing.

This Internet spin doctoring or " reputation management " or whatever they

call it - is big business these days..
