Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the legitimacy of scientific studies. Suggests experiments testing pesticides should have "a double blind-study, where one group is exposed to the substance, another group is exposed to a placebo, and a control group is not exposed to anything; with the result being an unbiased picture of the effects of the substance." Suggests that "it would be a good idea to reserve judgement until...[seeing] the actual study", who conducted the study, and under what methods. |
