“Thus, it appears that supporting hormesis research does not appear to have been a broad and active strategy by the private sector to influence regulatory processes.” Read the paper.

Stan Young study exposes publication bias, p-hacking, and junk meta analysis in environmental epidemiology — and rubbishes a highly-cited air quality paper in the process
Since the days of the EPA secondhand smoke risk assessment, JunkScience.com has had contempt for the bogus statistical technique of meta-analysis. We have also taken the lead in exposing as fraud claims that ambient air quality kills people. JunkScience.com friend Stan Young has just published a new paper dismantling a major 2012 air quality study (headlined below) as the product of publication bias and p-hacking, thus exposing its meta analysis methodology as just a bunch of junk.
Study: No kids ‘poisoned’ by lead in Flint water
Child blood lead levels actually slightly declined from harmless to even less harmless during the crisis. This study has been out for two weeks. No media outlet has reported it. It was much more fun and profitable for the #FakeNews media to report the scare as below.

Who was LNT inventor Herman Muller? A lunatic eugenicist-communist.
The guy who saddled the world with the junk science-fueled linear no-threshold model of carcinogenesis was a fraudster — as Ed Calabrese has well documented and JunkScience.com has spotlighted. But science fraud is really only part of Muller’s story. Before science fraud, there was Muller’s idea of eugenics-for-communism.

Duke University pays feds $112.5 million in science fraud case
Duke University will pay $112.5 million to the United States Government to settle Thomas v.

Calabrese: The Troubled History of Cancer Risk Assessment
The Nobel-winning inventor of the LNT model, Hermann Muller, also thought it would be a great idea to have a sperm bank stocked with the sperm of great men like Karl Marx and Lenin. It is no surprise that the LNT turned out to be entirely bogus. Ed Calabrese explains in his latest article.
The Air Quality Science Fraud Empire strikes back
Thanks to EPA Administrator Wheeler, CASAC chair Tony Cox and other Trump administration appointees, EPA is moving away from the air quality science fraud spotlighted in my 2016 book “Scare Pollution: Why and How to Fix the EPA.” This week the Air Quality Science Fraud Empire strikes back with a one-lie-after-another commentary in Science magazine.

No… glyphosate, chlorpyrifos and other pesticides NOT linked with autism
More crappy epidemiology. Weak (non)-associations based on totally guesstimated exposures to God knows what and when projected on to a vague spectrum developmental disorder. I’m only posting this because I wasted part of my life scanning the study. Remember: Pesticides work. Crappy epidemiology doesn’t.

No… soda doesn’t kill… but the corruption will
A new study claims that drinking soda increases the risk of death. This is only true if you rip a soda can in half and slash your throat with it. So no, soda doesn’t kill… but the corruption will kill you.
