Gulf War Illnesses: PB Linked to Chronic Health? #shortsAdded:
I'm going to ask you to help us, non-scientists, laypeople here, determine how seriously we need to take PB. Will you rate on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least certain and 10 being the most, the certainty you have that at least some of the chronic illnesses Persian Gulf veterans are confronting today are due to their use of PB? I would probably give it a five to six.
You stated that chronic effects and chronic illnesses. So, you're stating from five to six that the chronic effects and chronic illnesses that Gulf War veterans who took PB could be be related to PB.
There is some evidence consistent with that possibility, but there are limitations in that evidence that prevent us from making that statement conclusively.
