>I discovered ACSH about 3 years ago. I thought the information it presented *seemed* to be supported by good science, but somehow ACSH's positions always (AFAIK) supported the most conservative, status quo positions. I wondered which entities provided the bulk of its funding.
I just found these pages:
http://www.mindfully.org/Pesticide/ACSH-Koop.htm#list
http://www.prwatch.org/improp/acsh.html
No surprises here.The problem is that *much* of what ACSH says is true, but not all of it. I would never use at a sole source of information on a controversial topic.
I wouldn't rely on Marian Burros as a source of scientific information either, as she is a *food* writer, not a science writer.
I'm even more disturbed by the US govt's recent advisory on tuna. It's a good thing my kids don't like canned fish. "What's a mother to do?"
