Have we been lied to?  Have we accepted what we've been told about DDT without doing any research?  I will tell you that I never looked into this and just accepted as truth what I had heard about DDT.  Apparently, after the book, "Silent Spring" came out in 1962, there was a terrible uproar about this mosquito killer.  That uproar lead to the banning of the use of this chemical.  And who hasn't heard of the "Big Yellow Taxi" song?  As far back as I can remember, DDT has been synonymous with the ugly four letter cuss words.

However, I've since come across some information that has pointed to the possibility that "Silent Spring"'s claims were unfounded.  I'll share it with you, and you can make your up your own mind.

Not convinced?  What if you heard from author Paul Driessen:

Still think this is all just one big rich, white man's conspiracy?  Then why don't you hear from a black doctor, Dr. Walter Williams:

Apparently DDT had all but irradicated malaria; and studies showed that even when humans were given 300 times more DDT than what was allowed, there still were no ill effects.  All this makes one wonder if the public has been mislead....
