5.0 out of 5 stars
Good book. Who wrote it?
I used to work for Whelan's American Council on Science and Health, which has been inappropriately influenced by funders, despite her denials. This is quite a good book. So well written that I doubt that Mrs. Whelan had much to do with it. I edited some of her writing and Toxic Terror is much better than anything that I knew to come from her. I suspect that it was ghosted.

Trust Big Business. We care about you....
Not the best book for an unbiased look on the subject. The important sounding "Council on Science and Health" is in truth a PR group that represents the food processing and chemical industries. For a different viewpoint, I would suggest "Toxic Sludge is Good For You" by John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton. In their book, they take Ms. Whelan to task...

For a different viewpoint, I would suggest "Toxic Sludge is Good For You" by John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton. In their book, they take Ms. Whelan to task for (amongst other things) downplaying the link between a high-fat diet and heart disease, while receiving funding from Oscar Mayer, Frito Lay and Land O'Lakes. She also defends saccharin while receiving money from the soft drink industry.

An EXPLOSIVE book,

If you are tired of being lied to by the media, the anti-pesticide crusaders and the doomsayers...this is the book for you. Each chapter deals with an newsworthy item...and outlines the fallicies and frauds we are forced to endure. It's build on a solid foundation of "sound science" by a highly reknowned scientist with impeccable credientals. Go ahead...buy it, read it...it will shatter your illusions if you are willing to have an open mind. An OUTSTANDING book!!
