A March 19, 2007 piece quotes ACSH's Dr. Gilbert Ross responding to hysteria over the chemical bisphenol A (BPA): "The public belief in the 'low-dose hypothesis' is an example of the truism that people will believe something if it is repeated often enough,'' said Gilbert Ross, medical director of the American Council on Science and Health in New York. "The scientific support for this concept is weak and unreliable and certainly should not be used to set public policy about environmental chemicals,'' Ross added.
