Firstly, malnutrition defects are unlike those from uranyl poisoning.
Secondly, there is no alternative explanation of the U.S. and U.K.
servicemembers' (and Basrah civilians') increase from a risk ratio
of less than 0.5 six years after exposure to 1.8 in 2000 and 2.2 in
2003, without a corresponding steep increase in cancers -- that
is another signature of uranyl's teratogenicity.  (Of course the
Basrah civilians have lots of extra cancers, unlike the troops who
were not exposed to nerve gas in 1991.)
