We value movie stars and musicians for their entertainmentvalue, not their scientific expertise. But when they weigh in

on important issues pertaining to human health and get

things wrong, it is important to set the record straight.

Scientists affiliated with the American Council on Scienceand Health (see acsh.org and healthfactsandfears.com) do

just that. Below they respond to one celebrity doozy of a

comment at a time.

* The inspiration for this ACSH publication was Science for Celebrities, a publication by the UK organization

Sense About Science.

Supplements: Kevin Costner Versus

Bruce Chassy, Ph.D.

The FTC case against Airborneillustrates how the dietarysupplement industry exploitsconsumer's belief that if a little of anatural product is good for you, thena lot must be better. In this case,there is absolutely no scientificevidence that Airborne would behealth-beneficial and a lot of reason

to believe it could even bedangerous. But because of its "allnatural and green image" coupled with a powerful force calledthe placebo effect the productinspired thousands to believe itworked. It is ironic that consumerswant to avoid even infinitesimalamounts of man-made chemicalswhile they are willing to overdose onanything natural. It would be nice ifthings were so simple. Some of themost useful chemicals in the worldare man-made (for examplehundreds of life-savingpharmaceuticals) while some of themost toxic chemicals in the world

were designed and produced bygood old mother nature (strychnineand botulism toxin are examples).
