Toxins Linked to Gulf War Illness

A landmark 450-page report released by a federal panel of scientific experts and veterans concludes that at least one-fourth of the nearly 700,000 military personnel who served in the Persian Gulf War have complex but real health problems that can be scientifically linked to the toxins to which they were exposed. The Congressionally mandated report, "Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses," clearly states that Gulf War illness was caused by unique exposures and that Gulf War illness is not a stress related or trauma condition. The full report is available in PDF format at the Boston University School of Public Health website. Read the full article on Military.com.
