There WAS data showing increased arsenic levels in certain

So what? Increased Arsenic levels are not indicative of a health problem.


There was NOT evidence showing that most kids were exhibiting advanced
stages of arsenic poisoning YET - the kind that would cause the police
and/or health department to begin questioning family members.


So you agree that increased Arsenic levels mean almost nothing.


And, before some twit asks "Duh how about a controlled study?", it
would be impossible to find enough parents willing to allow their
kids to be used for such a study.


The parents don't have to be involved that way. Test kids who've hung out
on wood playsets vs kids who've played on metal playsets.

The reasons this kind of testing hasn't been done is that it would be a
waste of money, not that that's ever bother the government and any
researcher who published such findings would be laughed out of the
profession.


And, you are professionally involved in this type of research....HOW?
