Hi Myth buster,

Regarding PCRM,

On looking over the links you provided, I did not find any evidence to refute the health information provided by PCRM and it's references, both contained in the article and in the articles linking to it. In fact, some of the articles referenced not only CCF, but also the Dairy Council, Milk Pep and non-nutrition oriented organizations such as the AMA. I did not see a single reference for a clinical study. On the other hand, a single PCRM article contained 38 references, either for clinical studies or articles referring to studies on nutrition and disease.

The point of SW is not to create controversy by inserting unsubstantiated claims, opinions and points of view; but providing clear and factual information. If groups and lobbies representing wealthy and powerful industries cannot refute evidence, they tend to rely on various forms of disinformation, which can include censoring, marginalizing and smears.

It seems as if PCRM has made it's case very well. Naturally, groups such as CCF, the dairy promoting Milk-pep branch of the USDA and the National Dairy council would tend to "disagree". Furthermore, "Disinformation Campaigns" is a valid description of the activities industry funded front groups such as CCF. It is based on factual information and analysis; some of which is contained in CCF selected campaigns and other links on the page.

Lastly, this site has somewhat different standards, than Wikipedia, where it seems you cut and pasted most of your information from.

Cheers,

Lisa L.
