What are some areas of health misinformation ACSH has identified?
Despite widespread media hyperbole about environmental health risks, ACSH has demonstrated that many alleged health threats-such as the presence of trace amounts of chemical residues in food and water-play no known role in human disease. ACSH has a well-deserved reputation for being ahead of the curve on important health policy issues. For example, when misguided activists claimed in 1989 that American children were being poisoned by Alar on apples, ACSH was among the first to point out that Alar posed no health risk to the American public. Since then, the scientific community and regulatory groups have come forward to support the same position that ACSH advocated more than ten years ago.
