- Title
Beware of backroom deals in the name of 'science'.
- Authors
Macilwain, Colin
- Abstract
The author reflects on the removal of the sound-science bill from the farm legislation signed into law by U.S. President Barack Obama on February 7, 2014, and states that businesses that sell controversial products are engaged in modifying rules and regulations for their own benefits in the name of science. He expands on the term sound-science and the establishment of the Advancement of Sound Science Coalition by the tobacco industry to question evidence linking passive smoking to cancer.
