"If all of this seems silly, it’s because the Moroncolas of the world use
the same trick —ignoring dose. They dig up studies where an animal is
fed a bazillion times more of (name that chemical) than you’ll ever be
exposed to. Next is looking for any kind of effect, which in
many cases is expressed in data that are not statistically significant.
Finally, they imply that the animal model and dose are predictive of
disorder X in humans. That’s the big scare."
