C'mon guys, I usually am the first to discard anectodal evidence bout drug dangers, but this shit is fucked. No one should ever take this insecticide, its poison. I remember reading about this in an organic chem class in college before it became popular. I think that new text with that small story helped inspire this. It was about how workers in the nitroglycerin factories of WW1 were extremely thin, they linked it to the byproduct with todays nomenclature as 2,4 dinitrophenol. This is the new way of standardizing the functional groups on a simple organic phenol ring. It denotes the location. This stuff was used as a weightloss drug until sufficient numbers of people died. I must remind you that in the times it was banned that there were no safety advocacy groups out there or trial lawyers wainting to pounce. This was back in the day where people died on the job just to keep the schedule. Obviously when it was banned I believe in the late "30's that it there was alot of reason why. Think about it. Early twentieth century bannning this, it must be pretty bad. This editorial of course, I can discuss the exact damage done and the repercussion of said damage more speciificallly
