#1 government scientific misconduct on matters of designating toxins and carcinogens Before the government ever got involved, consider the controversies engaged in by the scientists themselves: nothing but disagreements and scandals. Consider how reports on the dangers and benefits of coffee swing back & forth every few months or so. Consider what happened to Mme. Curie. Consider what happened to Dr. Karen E. Wetterhahn of Dartmouth, a specialist who died in 1997 of toxic metal exposure. She was a world renowned researcher in -- toxic metal exposure. Various governmental agencies only got involved in the Wetterhahn case after it was far too late. Dartmouth had to pay penalties for negligence that the "top men" -- and women -- of the time did not even know existed!
There is far more to this issue that political hijacks.
