For years, various environmental and academic groups have
been desperately trying to explain how it can be that high doses of chemicals
(a common target: bisphenol-A, BPA), referred to as “endocrine disruptors,”
have little or no adverse effects in rodents, but low doses can pose risks?
Rather than give up, they have persisted—to the point
where they made up an entirely new (and well beyond irrational) hypothesis,
based on faulty (to say the least) science. Rather, they should have raised the
white flag and conceded, “Well, we really screwed this up, guys. Let’s move
on.”
No such luck. Instead, they somehow decided that a better
explanation was a bit of craziness called the “low dose effect” —a splendid
piece of science sleight-of-hand, which, if twisted properly can be made to
look somewhat like a rational explanation. But you have to really do some
twisting……… And ACSH has been on this for a long
time. See our publication on “The Low-dose
Effect.”…..To Read More…..
