Big Fears, Little Risks

In 1989, the American Council on Science and Health released a documentary called Big Fears Little Risks, which was narrated by the great Walter Cronkite. The documentary focused on how exaggerated fears about "chemicals" made people afraid of their food.

Thirty years later, ACSH has produced an updated version of Big Fears Little Risks, focusing on issues such as vaccines, GMOs, pesticides, and nuclear power. It will be released very soon. Stay tuned!
