Hyperbole is their theme. Kind of like the headlines today saying that being obese greatly increases your risk of dementia. Yep instead of 7 out of 100 seniors having dementia, fat ass's may go as high as 8 out of 100. Well I don't know about you but that doesn't qualify as greatly increasing your risk in my boat though I suppose 1% is huge to some.

If Agent Orange is not deadly, then why does the U.S. government pay claims for a long list of diseases in Vietnam veterans who were exposed to it? This is a site by and for U.S. veterans, and I must say some of these disease sound quite deadly: cybersarges.tripod.com The following diseases are those officially recognized by VA as related to herbicide exposure. To win benefits, VA law and regulations also require that some of these conditions appear (or “manifest itself”) within a deadline that began to run the day you left Vietnam. If there is a deadline, it is listed in brackets after the name of the disease. If your condition is not listed below, ask your doctor whether what you have is similar to any of these. There may be room to argue that your condition is the same as one of these.
