As most of you know, the New York City Advisory Council on Health Priorities (NYCACHP) is an affiliate of the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH), providing sound scientific information on various public health topics particular to New York City. Since its inception in 1997, NYCACHP has proved to be a voice of reason and authority on several NYC issues.
In February of 1997, when NYC Public Advocate Mark Green's Green Party called for a ban on milk taken from cows injected with recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), NYCACHP publicized a response exposing Green's claims as scientifically groundless and alarmist. Later, when the New York City Board of Education decided not to ban rBGH milk, the Council applauded their sensible stance.
