From the latest issue of Science News:


Scientist have tested 70 year old whale oil from the Charles W. Morgan of
Mystic, CT.

They found PCB's and similar chemicals.

What is striking is that they concluded these chemicals are naturally
occuring since man did not yet begin producing them 70 years ago.

Once again, man is not the culprit!



They found substances "similar" to PCB's and others. The
concentrations present were extremely low, and could have even come
from the lab that did the testing.

It really doesn't mean much by itself. Even synthesized compounds come
from ingredients found in nature. Where else would you get them?
