How about outfits that need certain results in order for their
product
to
get to market and make a profit? Do you trust them?

I trust reputable agencies. Things like greenpeace, ARA etc. are far
from reputable.

Please name one or more reputable agencies.


And, the next question is not intended to offend, but I have to ask.
When
you see articles which cite research sources, how do you decide which to
trust? In case this is unclear, here are definitions. Number 2 is the
appropriate one in this context.

Monsanto is not an agency, but that response is an interesting clue to how
you view these things. How about the second question? When sources are
cited, how do you decide which ones you trust?

Okay, if you say so. If you want a real agency EPA. I think that is
the agency that approves all MSDSs.

What sources do I trust and how do I decide? It is more a question of
deciding which ones I don't trust. That includes any source orginating
from places associated with AR, Greenpiece, ELF, Vegetarians. That
last one is sorta open as Vegetarians run the gamet from sane to kook -
most of the vegetarians in these forums are on the kook end of the
scale.

An additional criteria is 'what are they saying?' If it doesn't pass
the smell test (the OPs doesn't) I don't trust it.

====================================

EPA - that's a funny one, Harry. Like the FDA, lots of conflicts of interest
there.
