SW: →Dioxins: quote
(1) Full title: "''Science for Sale - Critique Of Monsanto Studies Of Worker Health Effects Due To Exposure To 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)''"
Quote: "new information has come to light indicates a clear pattern of manipulation and misconduct in the studies.... Based on the published studies themselves, intra-Monsanto memoranda, and sworn testimony of Monsanto staff and consultants, this report outlines a pattern of manipulation of data and study methods in order to obtain the predetermined result that dioxin had no negative effects on worker health.... as a result of these manipulations the data and conclusions of the three Monsanto studies are essentially meaningless".
It should be noted however that according to Sanjour "A February, 1991, article by Leslie Roberts [in ''Science'' magazine](39) says; ''Everyone Science spoke to who is familiar with the Monsanto studies agrees that they are flawed, but probably not as a result of criminal intent''".
