Interesting article, but I would be a little leery of tests that were
done on hampsters, guinea pigs and lab rats that get cancer if you look
at them wrong. I’m not going to worry about PTU unless they come up with
actual studies on humans (or at least animals which are a lot more related
to us than rodents, like chimps and the other great apes) and using dosages
that relate to the real world. I remember all the screaming about how
sacharine was cancerous, until it was pointed out the rats were fed the
equivalent of several pounds of sacharine a day for their short lives.

The drug has been banned in South Africa.
Who are the human subjects?
