Study Shows DDT, Diabetes Link in Great Lakes Fish Eaters

Stew · 07-25-09, 11:06 AM

Even though we haven’t used DDT in decades, its metabolites are still detected in almost everyone in the country. A new study showed consistent, dose-related associations of DDE with diabetes, a chemical produced as the body breaks down the pesticide DDT, banned in the United States more than 35 years ago.

DDT is one of the biggest eco-hoaxes ever to come down the pike. Don't believe any of this. Diabetes is caused by people eating too much, and exercising too little. I know in this day and age, nothing is anyone's fault except the big bad evil corporations. Put the Big Mac down and go walk a flight of stairs or two.
