This feller writes with expertise on biochemistry issues. He cites a recent study that alleges that we as a society have way way overreacted to doses of toxins in our environment <a/> by orders of magnitude. The authors of the soon to be controversial Nature paper say "We believe the predictive models that all regulatory agencies use are based on a fallacy. . .here, we clarify the basis of this fallacy and advocate a more predictive model that will revolutionize public attitudes towards risk." Yup, looks like the big govt, "problem solving" agencies that just love to regualte everything have a self-perpetuating racket going. At our expense. I'd much rather see my tax $ going towards the security of my family and their health than towards removing the last nanotrace of arsenic or whatever from the "environment". Let's hope the debate surfaces into the public medai.
