It sounds like more Junk science to me.
Yes, I see that now. You know, I had no idea DDT was banned on
crap science until recently. I posted an article today on the West Nile Virus
here in Texas and someone mentioned DDT. I couldn't find any FR article
so my Google Search found this article.
I eat the fish, not the shellfish though. My 80+ year old neighbors have been eating the crabs since they were kids, and they still go out to get their own! The pollutants I worry about are the mercury and chromium, but most of that has settled deep (like the PCBs).
The cause that propelled Ralph Nader to fame- "Unsafe at any speed"- was built on a part-lie.
The old Corvair did have an axle tuck-under problem- just like the similarly-designed VW Beetle- but by the time the book came out, GM has discovered and fixed it! Too late for th Corvair, however.
I covered some other "things which are taken as gospel, but are actually frauds" here:
Scams, Scalawags, and an all-too-gullible Public...famous frauds sold to America
