Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Its even worse than that. For thirty years, the US government has been using linear threshold risk assessment models. In recent years, they have used these to determine that any exposure below the threshold means that no one is sick. That is pure nonsense. They were cautioned not to do this when the permissible exposure limit GUIDELINES were first being used. Kelman and Hardin just took the deceit to a whole new level with their inhaled mycotoxin threshold BS, based on an acute high dose rodent study. And then ACOEM legitimizing it as health policy. But the reality is, this threshold nonsense has been used EXTENSIVELY for many exposures, including drug safety testing. And now they are trying to say that if the Federal government approved something based on the calculations (that were given to the FDA), then the manufacturers have no liability. _The Supreme Court, Generic Labels & Preemption // Pharmalot_ (http://www.pharmalot.com/2011/03/the-supreme-court-generic-labels-preemption/) Something is terribly wrong in this country right now. Corporate control of our government and our courts is becoming more evident by the day. I don't know how you stop it and apparently neither does Obama. In a message dated 4/5/2011 2:56:13 P.M.

I'm sure you have a copy of this. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB116831654647871083-email.html > > Its even worse than that.
