It’s a well rehearsed trope that information age homo sapiens have access to more information than any previous generation. In fact, it seems we create more information in two days than was generated, period, before 2003. But finding good information? That’s tricky. Take a look at the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) if you want peer-reviewed, expert opinions about issues related to health and the environment. However, be prepared for an “industry-friendly” point of view, as this group has clear advocacy goals. On the site, start with News and Views where you can read all the latest on chemicals, vaccines, smoking, and other topics. Browse by Topic to explore Chemicals and Environment, Medical and Pharma, Nutrition and Lifestyle, Public Policy, and Tobacco. The original reports released by the ACSH can be found under Publications.
