Viewpoint: Basil, clove, hand creams and perfumes contain killer chemicals? Here's why the European hazard agency IARC is considered a running joke in the science community

2 weeks ago | geneticliteracyproject.org | Jon Entine |Kevin M. Folta

Here is a primer on why the Lyons, France based International Association for Research on Cancer, the IARC, has become the favorite go-to organization for activist environmental Non-governmental organizations (eNGOs) and trial lawyers looking to score billion dollar verdicts litigating safe products like artifical sweeteners, Gardasil, talcum powder and glyphosate.
Viewpoint: What is 'Spatuala-Gate'? Or how the reckless, chemophobic media and environmentalists bungled the science of plastics yet again

Jan 10, 2025 | geneticliteracyproject.org | Jon Entine

For months, the media indulged in a frenzy of fearmongering, plastering headlines about toxic flame retardants supposedly hiding in your kitchen spatulas and children’s toys. CNN, The Atlantic, the LA Times and others uncritically parroted a study from the activist group Toxic-Free Future (TFF), painting an apocalyptic picture of cancer-causing chemicals contaminating recycled black plastic. It was clickbait gold—but it was also flat-out wrong.
How close are we to the avian flu outbreak escalating into an pandemic?

Jan 9, 2025 | geneticliteracyproject.org | Jon Entine

After at least documented 66 cases of humans infected with bird flu – which is surely an undercount — the first death was just reported. A 65-year old man with additional medical issues had been exposed to a combination of a backyard flock and wild birds. Ten states have reported cases in the grim first week of the New Year.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr 'would put the public's health in jeopardy: 75+ Nobel laureates urge Senate to reject HHS nominee

Dec 10, 2024 | geneticliteracyproject.org | Jon Entine

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. The letter … marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice, according to Richard Roberts, winner of the 1993 Nobel in Physiology or Medicine, who helped draft the letter. The group tries to stay out of politics whenever possible, he said.
We all bear the consequences of Neanderthal and Denisovan promiscuity

Nov 27, 2024 | geneticliteracyproject.org | Jon Entine

Benjamin Taub, Laura Simmons, Sarah Sloat | IFL Science | November 27, 2024 For much of our history, we coexisted with other members of our genus, and our prehistoric ancestors didn’t waste the opportunity to hook up with their Neanderthal and Denisovan relatives. … Reviewing all the existing data on archaic human introgression into the modern human genome, the authors of a new study explain that because Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa in waves, different populations of humans ended up...
You are taking Ozempic or Wegovy and aren’t losing weight? 20% of patients are in the same boat. Here’s why

Nov 26, 2024 | geneticliteracyproject.org | Jon Entine

In clinical trials, most participants taking Wegovy or Mounjaro to treat obesity lost an average of 15% to 22% of their body weight — up to 50 pounds or more in many cases. But roughly 10% to 15% of patients in those trials were “nonresponders” who lost less than 5% of their body weight. …[P]erhaps 20% of patients — as many as 1 in 5 — may not respond well to the medications.
Viewpoint: RFK, Jr.'s nutrition and farm proposals echo the disastrous science-rejectionist policies of Lysenkoism in Stalin's 1930s Soviet Union

Nov 15, 2024 | geneticliteracyproject.org | Jon Entine

Without question, the United States of America leads the world in health and agricultural innovation. We have created a system that has room for improvement but overall is recognized as a global innovator. That leadership will radically crash if Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. somehow navigates the confirmation gauntlet and is confirmed as the next secretary of Health and Human Service (HHS). This nomination was not on my Dystopia ‘25 Bingo Card.
Blame human evolution for corporate jargon and thick academic prose

Oct 24, 2024 | geneticliteracyproject.org | Jon Entine

For anyone who’s ever worked in a large organization, this kind of message will be depressingly familiar: “Do you have capacity to cascade the following information to your team? Please escalate inquiries through line management channels.”In plain English, this (real-life example) simply means: “Pass this on. Any questions, just ask.”So why not simply say so? And what on earth has this to do with genetics? The late philosopher Denis Dutton provides a potential answer to both questions.

Viewpoint: Organic or intensive agriculture? Brazil and South America reframe the debate over the most promising future for farming

Oct 9, 2024 | geneticliteracyproject.org | Jon Entine

It’s the year 2050, and the world’s population has just passed 9 billion people. Economic growth has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of starvation-level poverty. But the encouraging trend comes with a catch: the global population has soared by 70%, spurring a doubling of demand for more calorie-dense, nutritious food yet there are no more large plots of farmable land. Exacerbating the crisis, climate instability is intensifying, disrupting our fragile ecosystem.
