The most overhyped health scare I can recall was the one about having a house near high-tension power lines. If I recall correctly, some guy claimed it was associated with leukemia. Aggreate losses to property values exceed 1 TRILLION dollars nationwide.

Is one of them the latest fearmongering over tomatoes?
