NUTRITION, ENVIRONMENT & SOCIETY

I was introduced to this study on iodine & IQ by a thread commenter whose nick is DNY (I think) and that called to mind Kevin Drum's reports on the relationship between decreasing levels of lead in the environment and black juvenile violence. There are a couple of important conclusions to be drawn from my perspective: (1) we still are ignorant of the effects we have on the environment and (2) the Free Market Fairy had nothing to do with introducing iodine or reducing lead in gasoline.
