Dow-funded U-M researcher at odds with DEQ

State environmental agency has asked for help in addressing misunderstandings caused by study

State officials say that a Dow Chemical-funded University of Michigan study on dioxin exposure in the Saginaw River watershed has spurred misperceptions about the contamination threat caused by Dow — and they say U-M's lead researcher has not fully cooperated in efforts to address the problem....full article

my comment:

Ah yes, the Government Religion of Science at work.  With Climategate opening a window into the politics of social structuring by manipulating facts of science to fit their agenda, we can see it clearly now in this article, in the DEQ.

 

What is not being told is why do the residents outside of the dioxin contaminated area have such high reading of it in their blood?  What is being hidden and why is the State after Dow?  Is it that the EPA and the DEQ are not wanting we the People to know the truth about dioxin?

 

Maybe it is time for the Michigan State University comes forth with their facts on dioxin in our diet.  It has been years now since MSU turned out facts that corn fed animals are high in dioxin whereas legume fed animals are high in beta-carotene.  About three years after the study was release, I heard a news blirp stating that this Study must not be sat on very much longer.  Immediately following that announcement, the USDA came out with the grants for ethanol plants.  Go figure.

Maybe we can just throw the symptoms under fibro-myalgia.  I am sure DEQ wants a pay raise too.
