the thing about estrogen is in certain moments, estrogen is very dangerous. if it is developed a protection against it. the question raised is, did the body protect against this man- made chemical? it turns out, it did not. this chemical was affecting the development of the fetus. they begin testing it. they were concerned. this was a disaster for the development of fetuses. the question is, is it actually dangerous? the point i am making in the book is, there is a lot of research in both directions. when people hear that they say it is a contested field. we do not know the answer. when you separate out the research based on who funded the research, overwhelmingly, the research funded by industry finds no problem. the research funded independently finds a problem. when people hear that, then they are -- than their attitude changes. they say, maybe this is not a happy coincidence. maybe there is something about the research that is biasing it one way for either side. the point is, the conditions under which we need to trust do not exist where we have this kind
