Revision as of 22:22, 31 January 2025

Andrea C. Love, Ph.D. (right) and Jessica Steier, DrPH, PMP

Andrea C. Love, PhD is a co-founder and the former host of the Unbiased Science Podcast from 2020-2024, a Manager and Applications Scientist at Nexcelom Bioscience, a biotechnology company, a former Immunology Consultant for Vital Statistics Consulting, and former Senior Content Developer for the nonprofit Unbiased Science Institute.[1][2]Love became the Executive Director of the American Lyme Disease Foundation in 2023.[3]

Writing

Love is a columnist for the Genetic Literacy Project and Skeptical Inquirer, and in 2024 began a newsletter "to provide another conduit for credible fact-based information on topics related to immunology, microbiology, scientific principles, and the wellness industry." Love offers scientific consulting, scicomm training, health education, and speaking engagements through her website and serves as a scientific consultant to POPSUGAR’s Condition Center.[4][5]

Speaking Engagements

Andrea C. Love, along with Jessica B. Steier, was a keynote speaker at the 2023 CropLife America Annual Meeting in September, 2023. The title of their talk was, "Susceptibility to Misinformation About the Agricultural Industry: Lessons from Unbiased Science" in which they described "patterns observed among members of the public who fall prey to misinformation related to agriculture and food science, including gaps in science literacy, logical fallacies, and chemophobia." They discussed "...several tactics and methods utilized in their science communication efforts in order to overcome these biases...and...provide a framework for how scientists, organizations, and media outlets can work together to proactively dispel common misconceptions related to agricultural science and improve health literacy."[6][7][8]

Love also spoke with Unbiased Science host Steier at the Flavor & Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) 2023 Fall Symposium presented by the Consumer Product Companies Committee.[39] The event was sponsored by food and beverage manufacturers Pepsico and The Coca-Cola Company.[9] The event was sponsored by food and beverage manufacturers Pepsico and The Coca-Cola Company.[10]

Andrea Love's slide, GrowCanada 2024

The GrowCanada Conference 2024, sponsored by Bayer, BASF, CropLife International, Syngenta and others, included Love as a speaker on the topic of challenges of communicating about science in today's world and how to combat misinformation about what we eat. [11][12][13]

Andrea Love presenting at GrowCanada 2024

Dr. Love gave a talk entitled, "Sowing Seeds of Truth: Misinformation on Pesticide Use Harms Natural Resources" at the Oregonians for Food and Shelter (OFS) 2024 conference. OFS is a trade organization that represents forestry and wood producers, agricultural and food processors and professional chemical applicators. [14] The conference was sponsored in part by the Oregon Forest Industries Council, Simplot, Syngenta, Corteva and Bayer.[15]

Debunking "Chemophobia"

On her website, Andrea C. Love describes the mission of her newsletter as wanting to, "...alleviate unfounded fears and anxiety from predatory fear-based messaging (yes, we will talk a lot about chemophobia), so that you have a better understanding of what’s fact and what’s fiction as it relates to your bodies, your health, and consumer products."[16] Love calls chemophobia "a public health crisis" and a "global health threat." [17]

Love has insisted that concerns over formaldehyde are "chemophobia," "irrational" and it is used to "fear-monger" about products. She has said we do not "need to fear formaldehyde outright."[18] Sharon Lerner and Al Shaw have reported on formaldehyde in ProPublica, "Formaldehyde Causes More Cancer Than Any Other Toxic Air Pollutant. Little Is Being Done to Curb the Risk." In addition to causing cancer, formaldehyde exposure through the air is also linked to asthma, miscarriages and fertility problems. It is commonly used in many industrial processes and consumer products. Industry has pushed back on attempts to regulate emissions. According to the report in ProPublica, "Federal regulators have known for more than four decades that formaldehyde is toxic, but their attempts to limit the chemical have been repeatedly thwarted by the many companies that rely on it."[19]

Love has said parabens, preservatives used in food, medicines, and personal care products, are safe and “hugely beneficial.” She suggests public concern about parabens are due to “…the rise of social media, the “clean beauty” movement, and an increased sense of chemophobia…” and a 2004 study which she calls “really flawed” and “mischaracterized.”[20]

Chatterjee et al., described parabens as “…emerging environmental contaminants posing serious health threats,” in a study published in 2024.[21] Researchers at U.C. Davis concluded in 2023 “We show that paraben exposure at levels common in the US population are capable of accelerating mammary cancer growth and metastasis in mice through at least 2 key characteristics of carcinogens and alternative splicing events.”[22][23] A 2022 review on parabens and breast cancer concluded that “…recent in vitro and animal studies have shed light on the endocrine-modulating effects of parabens, suggesting that parabens may be implicated in breast carcinogenesis.” Despite a lack of epidemiological data in humans, the researchers suggest, “For now, cautions should be taken when individuals, including breast cancer patients or individuals with high risk of breast cancer, make the decisions on personal care products containing parabens.”[24]

Agriculture, Food and Nutrition

Love is a promoter of conventional agricultural practices and genetically engineered crops, and a vocal critic of organic agriculture. She has collaborated with Kevin Folta frequently in defense of genetically engineered foods and the herbicide glyphosate, writing several articles for the Genetic Literacy Project and Skeptical Inquirer.[25][26][27] She has also appeared on the Genetic Literacy Project podcast, GLP Science Facts & Fallacies with Cameron J. English and Liza Dunn to talk about nutrition myths and ultra-processed foods.[28]

While co-hosting a two part episode of the Unbiased Science Podcast, Love told listeners that organic farmers commonly use the chemicals methyl bromide, rotenone and nicotine sulfate.[29] The USDA organic regulations list these as prohibited substances.[30] In the same episode, Love says that, "...there's no regulations for safety, toxicity, or residual amount of pesticides in organically farmed crops."[31] The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulates pesticides used in organic agriculture under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).[32]Some pesticides allowed under USDA organic regulations are deemed "minimum risk" by the EPA, and exempt from registration because they "pose little to no risk to human health or the environment."[33] According to the EPA, some "...pesticide active or inert ingredients are exempted from the requirement of a tolerance because the chemical is considered to be safe enough for the use described in the tolerance exemption that a maximum permissible level does not need to be established."[34]

Dr. Love has called the artificial sweetener aspartame "safe," and said in an interview that she has "at least one diet soda a day." While she was still a co-host, The Unbiased Science Podcast posted on Instagram that "Aspartame does not post a health risk to humans, cancer or otherwise, especially at levels we would consume." She and former collaborator Jessica Steier have been openly critical of the International Agency for Research on Cancer's ranking of the chemical as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" in 2023.[35][36][37] Scientific research has associated the consumption of aspartame with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hormone-related cancers. Research also shows aspartame can cause mood disorders, mental stress, as well as behavioral changes. [38]

Health

In an article she wrote for the Genetic Literacy Project, Love claims that cancer rates aren't increasing among younger populations, they only appear to be increasing due to better detection rates, and that "Media outlets often cherry-pick case reports to make it seem that early onset cancers are more common than they are." She says that Millennials and Gen Xers should not be "panicked about cancer risks."[39] The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center reports that there is a "troubling rise in cancer rates among younger generations, specifically people born in the 1980s (Gen X) and 1990s (Millennials)." They cite studies from the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society that support these observations. They point to prenatal exposures, environmental toxins, and various lifestyle factors as things that could be contributing.[40]

While a guest on The House of Pod for an episode in January, 2025 discussing “Medical Malarkey” Love said regarding human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), that “…it’s not accumulating, it’s not doing anything…” “…claims that BPA is an endocrine disruptor and it causes all these cancers…The problem is, all of those claims are based on petri dish studies.” She also stated, “..then you have these medical organizations who kind of make these nebulous statements all based on these petri dish studies.”[41]

BPA has been found to accumulate in human tissues and organs.[42]Vandenberg et al reported in 2007 that “Human studies have shown that most children, as well as adult men and women, including pregnant women, have measurable levels of BPA in body fluids and tissues sampled.”[43]BPA is also considered to be a likely carcinogen. A review by Khan et al in 2021 stated that, “BPA may be anticipated as a probable human carcinogen. Studies using in vitro cell lines, rodent models, and epidemiological analysis have convincingly shown the increasing susceptibility to cancer at doses below the oral reference dose set by the Environmental Protection Agency for BPA.”[44] Two leading experts in the field of endocrinology, Frederick vom Saal and Laura Vandenberg published a review on BPA research in 2020 that concluded, “The amount of evidence that is available is overwhelming, and the conclusion is clear: low doses of BPA alter hormone-sensitive organs and are related to a wide range of human noncommunicable diseases based on evidence from human studies; the human data are supported by numerous findings from animal experiments and in vitro mechanistic studies.”[45] Both the Endocrine Society and the European Society of Endocrinology released a joint statement in 2022, “Bisphenol A has a detrimental effect for human and animal health and our general environment” where they stated that, “…our societies recognize the need to reiterate that there is widespread scientific evidence that exposure to BPA, including at small quantities or in combination with other chemicals as a mixture, is harmful for human, animal, and ecological health. The EU has long recognised that BPA is harmful and has classified BPA as reprotoxic and an endocrine disruptor for human health and for the environment under REACH.” They concluded, “As the voice of European, US and other global leading experts actively studying the health effects of BPA and other bisphenols, we urge decision makers to implement without further delay the necessary measures to address the continuous high presence of BPA and other bisphenols in our environment.”[46] Nature reports a 2023 European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluation concludes that, “BPA poses health concerns due to its effects on the immune system.”[47]

Lyme Disease

While with the Unbiased Science Podcast, and through the American Lyme Disease Foundation, Love has made many statements about Lyme disease, which is an infection caused by the bacteria B. burgdorferi. She told a follower that a Lyme disease “infection would be cleared by the immune system even without abx treatment."[48]

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "Untreated Lyme disease can produce a wide range of symptoms, depending on the stage of infection. These include fever, rash, facial paralysis, an irregular heartbeat, and arthritis." The CDC recommends seeking medical attention if you've recently been bitten by a tick and exhibit any of these symptoms.[49]

Through the Unbiased Science Podcast, Love claimed in 2023 that Lyme disease is “only transmitted by certain species of ticks,” is “not transmitted by other routes,” is not “congenital or transmitted across the placenta” or “transmitted person-to-person in any way” and “…there have been no documented cases of this.”[50][51]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) fact sheet, Pregnancy and Lyme disease states that, “Untreated Lyme disease during pregnancy can lead to infection of the placenta. Spread from mother to fetus is possible but rare.”[52] The CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) from June 28, 1985 states, “Transplacental transmission of B. burgdorferi has been documented in a pregnant woman with Lyme disease who did not receive antimicrobial therapy,” and “Since transplacental transmission of B. burgdorferi has been documented, it will be important to determine whether maternal infection with B. burgdorferi is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcome.”[53]

On Twitter, now called X, Dr. Love claimed that Lyme disease is “…a non-fatal bacterial infection…” and “Lyme infection is not a fatal illness.” In a story for the Unbiased Science Podcast she also said that, “…Lyme isn’t fatal.”[54][55]

The American Lyme Disease Foundation website says, “There have been 11 cases of fatal Lyme carditis reported globally over a period of 34 years (1985-2019).”[56] In Maine in 2023, the family of 25 year old Peter Smith was awarded $6.5 million by a jury for wrongful death after Smith was misdiagnosed with allergies and subsequently died of Lyme carditis a month later.[57] Joseph Elone, a 17 year-old from Poughkeepsie, New York died in 2013 of Lyme-induced myocarditis after being denied antibiotic treatment by a pediatrician.[58]

Dietary Supplements

Love has frequently stated that dietary supplements are unregulated, claiming on a podcast aired in 2024 that, "...the entire dietary supplement industry is unregulated..."[59] and has said that, “Dietary supplements are unregulated pharmaceuticals.” She also claims that the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) “basically gave supplement companies free reign to sell whatever they want to consumers with no evidence.”[60][61][62] Love has also said in an interview, "supplements are not legally required to disclose their ingredients."[63]

Dietary supplements are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration under food, and their manufacture is overseen by Good Manufacturing Practice, with facilities subject to rules and inspection by the FDA. Supplements have less pre-market regulation than drugs, but the FDA lacks the power to mandate human drug recalls[64][65] whereas that authority exists with dietary supplements.[66] The FDA regulates dietary supplements through both manufacturing inspection and post-market surveillance, and manufacturers are subject to the laws and regulations that apply to labeling and ingredients.[67][68] According to the FDA, all ingredients must be declared on the label of a dietary supplement.[69]

When Love was with the Unbiased Science Podcast in 2022, they shared paid partnership content from Welly, an over the counter medicine and supplement company.[70]
