Ross, Gilbert
‘ When American corporations come up against inconvenient science, say, a
study showing that mercury in fish can damage a developing fetus, or that a
blockbuster drug has nasty side effects, they call in the American Council on
Science and Health (ACSH). Industry-funded ACSH is the most aggressive debunker
of pesky research reports emanating from government and academia. Its
medical/executive director’s calm, soothing voice can be heard on television and
radio, quelling public fears about the latest bad news about health and the
environment.’
