Clear to whom?  How is it absolutely good?

By the way its banned from being produced in most countries, so Africa 
has been out of luck until recently.  If they produce it they risk 
sanctions.

It is theorized to thin eggshells but hasn't been shown to adversely 
affect humans.  Malaria on the other hand kills a person every 30 seconds.

You must be confusing it with Agent Orange or DES, both of which are 
dangerous.
