I agree with the overall character of Sandy's response. For agent orange, 

however, serious question marks have been cast over the topic - whether 

these herbicides cause sarcomas (and other cancers) or not. Some of this 

information comes from Sweden. Due to legal reasons I cannot write more 

about it.



My personal initiative only,
