Exhibit 72: The M-Shaped Curve

The M-shaped dose-response curve, the standard safety tests marked at the second peak on the right, and the first peak on the left, the one the tests never look at.

One dose-response curve with two peaks: a first peak at a trace dose, a long trough across the middle, and a second peak at a high dose. A hatched band marked Tested covers the high-dose end only, enclosing the second peak and leaving the first outside it.
