Don't be so sure that this industry funded disinformation organization
is credible. It just could be there is a financial interest involved.
See this web site for another point of view.
http://www.mindfully.org/Pesticide/ACSH-Koop.htm
Here's an excerpt:
" ACSH is heavily financed by corporations with specific and direct
interest in ACSH's chosen battles. Since it was created in 1978, it has
come to the enthusiastic defense of virtually every chemical or additive
backed by a major corporate interest. In many of these cases,
investigative journalists already have exposed direct connections
between ACSH and its funders."
And another:
"ACSH receives 76 percent of its funding from corporations and corporate
funders, and 17 percent of its funding from private foundations,
according to Congressional Quarterly's Public Interest Profiles."
Remember to beware of what you read on the internet, including this
link. However, in judging the credibility of the opinions rendered ask
yourself this question. Who has the most to gain financially if DDT were
to be approved for use in the U.S.? Might it be some large chemical
company
that helps fund this organization?
