A July 16, 2005 article by Jeff Montgomery on DelawareOnline.com touted the Environmental Working Group's alarmist report about chemicals in our blood but noted ACSH president Dr. Elizabeth Whelan's response:
Elizabeth M. Whelan, president of the American Council on Science and Health, said that EWG had been "trying for years to scare us" about chemicals in the environment. The group provided nothing to show that the levels detected were harmful, Whelan said.
"This is bringing the scare to a new level. What they're trying to say is, the contamination in the environment is so severe that even unborn babies are exposed to it. I find it really outrageous that they have gone to this level of hyperbole to scare people."
