This is one of those controversies that's hard for me to take a side on. I wouldn't hesitate to eat an alar-treated apple merely because giving a mouse 200,000 times as much (per body weight) as one apple contains, produced 1 tumor in study of 45 mice. But it raises the interesting question of toxicity and the slogan "the dose makes the poision".
So, I tried to write the article dispassionately and give external links to pro and con sides. Is this not the epitome of NPOV?
[edit] Pesticide?
I think it is in a wrong category. A plant growth regulator is not a pesticide. Where should it belong instead? --Shaddack 11:28, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
