New York Environmental Carpetbaggers Get Schooled By California Science

By Hank Campbell — Apr 25, 2016
Everyone talks about recycling water, and for good reason. It is a fine idea, especially in a state like California, which is primarily desert. So why would environmental groups object? It may simply be because modern environmentalists hate science and corporations more than they love clean water.

Doctors Look After Our Mental Health; Who Looks After Theirs?

By ACSH Staff — Apr 25, 2016
A recent study from Cardiff University has revealed that nearly 60 percent of doctors have experienced mental illness and psychological problems at various stages in their career. That's bad enough in itself, but what is much worse is that very few of the 2,000 surveyed said that they actually had sought help.

On E-Cigarettes, Tobacco Control Experts Ask FDA to Focus On the Good

By ACSH Staff — Apr 25, 2016
Leading tobacco control experts say that when it comes to regulating e-cigarettes the public needs a trusted guide, and that should be the FDA. For that reason, they are calling on the agency to stop predetermining that vapor nicotine products might act as gateway to cigarette use, and instead look at the evidence to date about their harm reduction benefits.

By ACSH Staff — Apr 25, 2016
The global production and sale of fake and substandard medicines is a serious problem. Not just bogus pseudo-medical products like supplements, but dangerous knock-offs being sold as real medicine that people truly need. According to new research, scholars want to use criminology theory to stop the fraudulent activity.

Rocky IV Science, Vegans Hate Life, And Butter Still Rules

By Hank Campbell — Apr 25, 2016
1. A vegan group claims even 3D-printed cow milk is an abomination of their self-identification and mustn't be allowed. So they don't like our article. Mission accomplished, Dr. Kava! Even if no cows are involved, they are against it. That means they don't want more ethical treatment of cows, they are just social authoritarians who want to force you into their world view. No wonder science pisses them off.

Is That Bourbon or Rye? You Can't Tell the Difference

By ACSH Staff — Apr 24, 2016
The only legal difference between bourbon and rye products is their mashbill: Bourbon must be fermented from a mash that is majority corn, and rye from a majority of, yes, rye. Otherwise, the two products are identical. So it's possible for a 2 percent difference in mashbill to tip the whiskey from one category into the other.

Clue to Breast Cancer Treatment Uncovered

By ACSH Staff — Apr 23, 2016
Recent research has made some progress in finding an effective treatment for triple negative breast cancer — specifically, cancers that don't have either growth factor or hormone receptors. These are the most difficult to treat successfully, since there are no targeted therapies for them.

Lack of Sleep Affects Cholesterol Metabolism and Inflammation

By Lila Abassi — Apr 22, 2016
Sleep deprivation, even after one week, can induce changes in metabolic pathways involved in cholesterol metabolism and create a pro-inflammatory state. Together, they contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

WebMD is Ailing, By Aligning With NRDC on Organic Foods

By Ruth Kava — Apr 22, 2016
The health website WebMD supposedly gives us scientifically sound advice. So why is it following in the footsteps of the Natural Resources Defense Council with respect to pesticide scares? As a result we think the Web Doctor's health advice on this issue is decidedly unscientific.
