Bad science caused people to die? Chemicals can help crops from being destroyed and thus more people can be fed.
History has proven Carson’s claims wrong. Contrary to her
admonitions, a chemically caused cancer epidemic never came to pass.
Researchers who identified environmental factors did not simply target
trace chemical exposures as significant, but instead focused on major
cancer causes such as tobacco and poor diets. In fact, people are living
longer and healthier lives, cancer rates have declined even as chemical
use has increased, and chemicals are not among the key causes of
cancer.
