That snippet seems to clearly demonstrate that it is not fear mongering if only 400 of 40,000 chemicals used have been even tested for human safety.

- weberc2 7y agoHard to say since they drop that statistic without bothering to provide any context or citation.
- reallydude 7y ago> That snippet seems to clearly demonstrate that it is not fear mongering It demonstrates nothing. There is no citation, there is no definition of what the EPA tests for (vs the FDA or anyone else), what human safety means. A once over interpretation of a throwaway line is not "clearly" proof of anything in any forum.
- pwinnski 7y agoThat is exactly an example of fear-mongering. "We haven't fully tested nearly 40,000 'chemicals,' so we should assume the worst!" I make no judgement on whether the numbers are correct, nor on whether any of the substances in question are dangerous or benign. I state only that describing a lack of information as a problem is fear-mongering.
