Okay have you read this - it is fascinating - if true, shed's a whole new light on this incident. Is it true???

My edits of this article were a consequence of me trying to figure out how much of the speculations by Andreas Faber Kaiser are true. The article in the guardian mentions the same points and names as Faber Kaiser, but most statements are difficult to verify. There is nearly no citation of sources.

One fact which seems to be true, is that there is no animal model of the disease up to now, so the Toxic Oil hypothesis is based solely upon epidemiological data. My main question remains: On what evidence was Dr. Muro's hypothesis (organo-phosphates on tomatoes) dismissed?

Here is an article I just found online: The limits of epidemiology and the Spanish Toxic Oil Syndrome It's a reply to those conspiracy-theories circulating around TOS. I haven't read it thoroughly yet, but it doesn't seem to do a good job debunking those conspiracy theories. But it contains some source citations and corroborates the sacking of Muro and the others. I don't have the time right now to work this into the wikipedia article on TOS. Anyway I would prefer to discuss this topics on the talk page before editing the article. Any others interested in sorting out the truth? --Axeloide 16:31, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
