Good Afternoon List Friends,
This may be a bit away from my usual postings but I found the internet
article below a fascinating exchange between Joseph D. Rosen, Ph.D.,
editor of "Health Facts and Fears", a publication of the AMERICAN
COUNCIL ON SCIENCE AND HEALTH, the editor of Consumer reports and some
very well informed readers.
Dr. Rosen's lead sentence is, "Warning: Reading Consumer Reports may be
dangerous to your health.". His article and the following dialogue with
his readers, was a response to a Consumer Reports article titled "The
Truth About Irradiated Meat" (August 2003). The article effectively
discouraged consumers from buying irradiated meat products on the basis
of health and taste.
Those interested in the subject (and with time to read it) can find the
whole exchange at:
