Yet, the ACS must know that their assertion is flatly
untrue! In fact, most studies have suggested a link, and there is only one,
funded by chemical companies, that suggests otherwise.
But this isn't the only example from the ACS' own
website.
The ACS devotes the first half (over 7 pages) of a
lengthy article on the possible link between the Vietnam War defoliant Agent
Orange and cancer to various studies debunking a connection. Buried in the
middle of the article are the results of the authoritative National Institutes
of Health, Institute of Medicine (IOM) study of Agent Orange that found
"Sufficient Evidence of an Association" between the chemical defoliant and
several forms of cancer including Soft Tissue Sarcoma, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma,
Hodgkin's Disease and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). The IOM report also
found at least limited or suggestive evidence of a link between the chemical and
respiratory cancers of the lung, trachea, bronchus and larynx, Prostate Cancer
and Multiple Myeolma. Also buried far down in the ACS article is the fact that
the National Toxicology Program has designated phenoxy herbicides such as Agent
Orange "possibly carcinogenic to humans" and that the same institution also
found one of the constituent elements of Agent Orange, dioxin, a "known human
carcinogen."
But even that isn't all.
