So what is it you suggest? There are so many suggestions out there for things to avoid. Power lines, cell phones, etc, etc. All have been thought to might do this or that. Me jerking myself off has been speculated to make me go blind, mad or crippled. At that rate, I'd be all 3 by now.
Edit: I'm not saying that I will buy whatever report you shove in my face. Like someone said, follow the money. Obviously, I will take a report published by the organic industry with a pinch of salt as I would by say the beef council. OTOH, without any reports, what do you base a decision on? Now if a report says that eating fish can cause me to go blind I have to see what their report is based on and what it really means. If the amount of fish I have to eat is going to be way more than I will ever eat, I wouldn't care. IOW, if they said that by eating 5# of fish a day for 30 years, I will go blind, I don't care. OTOH, if they say that eating 1 fish a year will make me go blind, I might be more tempted to look at how they arrived at their conclusion and see what it means for me.
