Founded in 2020, the Center for Truth in Science is an independent, non-profit organization with a vision of becoming a well-respected champion of fact-based science. The organization focuses on issues at the intersection of science, economics, and the judicial system, with the objective of contributing to a judicial system in which liability and damage awards are based on fact-based science. We will evaluate existing scientific studies and promote the objective and unbiased truth of scientific claims made by those participating in the American free enterprise and judicial systems. s of April 2023, the Center for Trust in Science’s website listed the following “issue areas of focus“: ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, glyphosate, PFAS, and talc and talcum powder. thylene Oxid egarding ethylene oxide, the group “seeks to determine if there is conclusive, consistent scientific evidence that demonstrates a link between exposure to ethylene oxide and the development of cancer or other chronic illnesses. The Center also seeks to examine the potential economic impact of government-imposed limits or bans on the use of ethylene oxide.” ccording to the National Cancer Institute, “Lymphoma and leukemia are the cancers most frequently reported to be associated with occupational exposure to ethylene oxide. Stomach and breast cancers may also be associated with ethylene oxide exposure. ormaldehyd n formaldehyde, “[T]he Center for Truth in Science seeks to determine from available high-quality studies if there is conclusive, consistent evidence that inhaled formaldehyde exposure causes leukemia, including myeloid leukemia and other LHP cancers. The Center has awarded a research grant to support a systematic review of current scientific literature to better understand this issue.” ccording to the National Cancer Institute, “Studies of workers exposed to high levels of formaldehyde, such as industrial workers and embalmers, have found that formaldehyde causes myeloid leukemia and rare cancers, including cancers of the paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, and nasopharynx. lyphosat egarding glyphosate, “[T]he Center for Truth in Science seeks to determine if there is conclusive, consistent scientific evidence that demonstrates a link between exposure to glyphosate and the development of cancer or other chronic illnesses. The Center also seeks to examine the potential economic impact of government-imposed limits or bans on the use of glyphosate.” lyphosate is the most commonly-used herbicide worldwide. Scientists have increasingly linked herbicides containing glyphosate as the active ingredient, such as Bayer’s Roundup (formerly owned by Monsanto), to endocrine disruption, birth defects, and the cancer non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in humans. It has been banned in at least 10 countries, restricted in more than a dozen others, and restricted or banned in several U.S. cities.”6 In July 2021, Bayer announced that as part of its “its five-point plan to address future Roundup litigation risk,” it would “replace its glyphosate-based products in the U.S. residential Lawn & Garden market with new formulations that rely on alternative active ingredients beginning in 2023, subject to a timely review by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state counterparts.”( FA n PFAS, the group “seeks to determine if there is conclusive, consistent scientific evidence that demonstrates a link between exposure to PFAS and the development of cancer or other chronic illnesses. The Center also seeks to examine the potential economic impact of government-imposed limits or bans on the use of PFAS.
