What types of issues does ACSH investigate?
ACSH covers a full spectrum of contemporary public health issues, including cigarette smoking, AIDS, alcohol consumption, nutrition, pharmaceutical safety, low-level radiation, biotechnology, food safety, pesticides, medical screening, health quackery and many other topics. ACSH’s top priority is to help Americans distinguish between real and hypothetical health risks. ACSH aims to separate the leading causes of disease and death from the leading causes of unnecessary anxiety and tries to ensure that both individual health decisions and public policies are based on sound scientific evidence.
