The debate goes on and probably will until the end of time as to the effects of DIOXIN on dozens of health related issues.

We now understand that we cannot rewind the clock and easily solve the problems caused by dioxin, but must learn how to deal with it in a fair and equitable manner to all who have health related issues, and find ways to prevent further exposure.
