By what criteria does ACMI's independent toxicologist at Duke University in the Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine judge whether something is toxic or not? Science is constantly changing criteria based on new data. Who funds this research?

X-rays were once considered safe. When I was growing up, my neighborhood shoe store had an x-ray machine to check how the shoes fit. Complex carbohydrates were once considered harmful for sufferers of diabetes. Now whole grains are highly recommended.

We have the right to purchase whatever products we choose. I for one choose a heaping serving of cynicism.
