Billionaire industrialist David H. Koch, who with his older brother Charles was both celebrated and demonized for transforming American politics by pouring their riches into conservative causes, died Friday at 79.
The cause of death was not disclosed, but Koch Industries said Koch, who lived in New York City, had contended for years with various illnesses, including prostate cancer.

The catch is in what dose? Remember dose makes the poison. There are a lot of toxins that are practically everywhere. But they aren't everywhere in concentrations that can kill.

The point is, the company KNEW they were poisoning the environment and even after people's cattle died from drinking it in the water and eating it in their food, and after people turned up with cancer CAUSED by the C8, they covered it up and kept doing it because of the Dollars they were making.
They DID kill people, knew they were doing it and covered it up...ALL to continue making money.
And you have no problem with this???

I'll note in that case, the cattle deaths (see here [nytimes.com] for a description) look suspiciously like antifreeze poisoning right up to the dyes showing up in the tissue of the cows (which incidentally may not be DuPont caused). And if that was the way C8 poisoned animals, it would never have survived so many decades without toxicity testing.

Unbelievable.
DuPont and 3M's OWN testing showed it was cancerous and was causing deformaties and death, and that they HID this from the EPA. THEIR OWN TESTING!
AND STILL they dumped it: in the water and land and air.
Read the emails.
OR, close your eyes.

Drink a glass of it and tell me what dose you got and how you feel!

Are you thereby claiming that everyone is effectively exposed to a glass of C8?
