  • politech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's about time! The junk science that triggered the ban on DDT was disproved decades ago, yet the myth that it is somehow dangerous still persists at the cost of over one million lives per year.

    Even this article mentions excessive farm use of DDT, the danger of which is also subject to debate.

    Some think the the WHO actually encouraged the ban on DDT in order to force population reduction in Africa. That would sound like paranoia, but for the WHO memos written in the 1960s that actually said it.
