Hmmm... It turns out DDE, a DDT derivative, does cause thinning of eggs in raptors, but not most other birds. However, It is a widely overstated problem. DDT is not a problem for raptors when used to control for malaria.

Lets try that again!

Actually, I'm usually the one crying junk science all the time but, in this case, the science says DDT should be banned.

Each year, the FDA tests vegetables from store shelves across the country.

Despite being banned for over 25 years, DDT is still the most common pesticide found on vegetables.

It seems this little chemical is about as persistent as they come. When nature doesn't break it down, it shouldn't be used.
