Well, actually, I'm not....what I wrote is all I've heard, and I only wrote in
response to the article that has been sent twice now to the list (the second
time by someone new who probably didn't know it had already been sent. It must
be going around the Internet -- I've received it from about 4 or 5 people now.
I do think such articles would be better if written in a reasonable,
scientific way rather than the tone and manner that was used, though.) If it
seems to cause some neurological problems, I think it deserves to be looked
into -- to my knowledge it hasn't been conclusively proven either way, but
there have been incidents to make it suspicious.
My own stance is this: I don't know if it is a problem or not, but I'm not
willing to risk it.
I think I know you well enough to trust that this difference of opinion will
not do harm to our friendship. :-)
