RE: Agricultural Pesticides Do Appear To Cause Birth Defects, But Only When Exposed To Extreme Amounts
Well, this isn't so bad. It seems like it can be easily fixed, if proper action is taken. And as you say it's only in 95th+ percentile, and the effects are comparable to those of stress! So, overall it wasn't as bad as I imagined going into it, or as is often portrayed in sensationalist media. But it does merit much further research.
The thing with a lot of data is that it can be spun a lot of ways. It's important to take things into context, and also realize that many many things that we use every day have the potential to be very damaging to our health at the right concentrations. Placing the appropriate safeguards so those concentrations are not achievable is extremely important.
However discussion like that doesn't generate clicks.
