> > headline said "Cancer's decline continues." This
> year fewer people will
> > get cancer and fewer will die from it. So,
> naturally, on Wednesday, May
> > l7th, the EPA announced we are all going to get
> cancer from dioxin and
> > die. Pay attention; everybody is exposed to
> dioxin in parts per billion
> > and that's not enough to kill a gnat.

> > Now here's something that is not likely to make
> it into the newspapers or
> > be reported by the Rather, Brokaw and Jennings
> evening circus. On page
> l49
> > of the EPA report about dioxin it says "There is
> no clear indicator of
> > increased disease in the general population
> attributable to dioxin-like
> > compounds."
> >
> > Also on May 17th, another USA Today headline said
> "EPA to hit pollution
> by
> > diesel." The EPA objective is to clean, clean,
> clean the air still more
> to
> > protect us against cancers that are in decline.
> The day before, May 16th,
> > the US Department of Health and Human Services
> took the artificial
> > sweetener, saccharin, off its list as a probable
> cause of cancer. It was
> > put on the list in 1981 and, apparently, an
> insufficient number of people
> > have died from putting it in their morning cup of
> coffee.

> > When are Americans going to figure out the US
