Right, so even way back in 2004 they (PBDEs) were known to be toxic in animals. But you won't accept that they're toxic to humans too until it's proven? How would you propose to obtain such proof? Human trials? Will you volunteer?


You made the original claim without evidence. It's up to you to provide that evidence. You're engaging in a classic crank move there. I'm just applying Hitchen's Razor: "what is asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence."

I have pointed out that these specific chemicals look to be less toxic than the class in general, so just pointing to evidence about the class in general is not sufficient.
