Good morning, Kevin!
Is this an article? Can you forward the source of it?

There is also research that refutes these claims about no damages. I
don't want to get into an article war, but I do want to remind people that
the EPA and the National Academy of Sciences have tarnished records in terms
of the interests of the greater good. They have been compromised in many
ways by corporate interests and profits, and politics.

One good book that addresses this topic rather thoroughly is _Trust Us,
We're Experts_ by Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber. There is a whole
chapter on Arpad Pusztai, and genetically engineered foods.

reviews: From Publisher Weekly - (December 4, 2000)
Rampton and Stauber's impassioned call for skepticism goes beyond
rhetoric-they offer practical guidelines for separating propaganda from
useful information.

From Brills Content - (December 2000/January 2001)
...meticulously researched book by Rampton and Stauber...prove that they are
the real experts.

>From Booknews
The authors are affiliated with the non-profit Center for Media and
Democracy, and they write and edit for the Center's quarterly, . Here they
detail sneaky methods industry uses to influence public opinion through
bogus experts, doctored data, and manufactured facts. They discuss examples
of "perception management" and consider some characteristics of human
psychology that make this kind of hard sell possible. Examples are given in
biotechnology, lead exposure, cancer research, and the tobacco industry.
