The parallels with the silicone cover up are uncanny ... epi studies

designed to show no correlation between the diseases and the chemicals ...

identical to what Dow & other Silicone Manufacturers & the PS's bought and

NEJM published and www.junkscience.com and ACSH spread as " science. " The

corporations got exactly what they paid for.

documents have shown that they knew they were hurting people, much like

the tobacco industry.

PROFESSOR GERALD MARKOWITZ Ph.D, JOHN JAY COLLEGE: Historians don't

like to use broad political terms like " cover-up, " but there's really no

other term that you can use for this.

TRADE SECRETS: A MOYERS REPORT

Monday, March 26, 2001, 9:00 p.m. ET

Surveys of public opinion show that the majority of Americans believe that

the government is making sure that they are protected against harmful

chemicals. Is their understanding justified?

In TRADE SECRETS: A MOYERS REPORT, premiering on PBS Monday, March 26,

2001, 9:00 p.m. ET (check local listings), journalist Bill Moyers and

producer Sherry report on how the chemical revolution of the past 50

years has produced thousands of man-made chemicals that have not been

tested for their effect on the public's health and safety.

The report is based on documents never before published and interviews

with historians, scientists, and physicians who are exploring how

chemicals affect the human body.
