Thanks, Froggie, for injecting some good sense into this discussion.

Remember that at one time people were getting their children's feet x-rayed in shoe stores because nobody knew it could cause problems, and in an earlier time lead was used in cookware and paint and people didn't know what was making them sick. Don't shoot the messenger!
