In this eye-opening expose David Michaels reveals how unscrupulous product-defense consultants
have increasingly shaped and skewed the scientific literature manufactured and magnified
scientific uncertainty and influenced policy decisions to the advantage of polluters and the
manufacturers of dangerous products. He proves that our regulatory system is broken and offers
concrete workable suggestions for how it can be restored by taking the politics out of science
and ensuring that concern for public safety rather than private profits guides our regulatory
policy.
