ACSH frequently defends industry against claims that its products create risks of injury, ill-health or death. ACHS also criticizes some industries for making unscientific and overstated health claims, promoting dangerous natural supplements, or otherwise failing to tell the truth about scientific issues. Some of the scientific and professional journals that have recently published ACSH's work include: Medscape , CRC Critical Reviews In Clinical Laboratory Sciences , Ecotoxicology And Environmental Safety , Journal Of Health Communications , Clinical Therepeutics , and Technology . ACSH is a Nonprofit institution exempt from federal Income Tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code . All contributions are Tax Deductible as provided by Law . According to the ''Congressional Quarterly's Public Interest Profiles'', Whelan's organization received more than 75 percent of their funding from the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. As a result, the ACSH has been accused of being more of a Public Relations firm, and less of a neutral council on Science. Jeff Stier, Associate Director of ACSH, has claimed that this information is outdated and inaccurate, with ACSH receiving less than 50 percent of their funding from industry. EXTERNAL LINKS
