I had a look at Science Babe's analysis of Food Babes recommendations.

My conclusion is Science Babe took the word "Science" for her moniker to gain credibility the same way "Creation Science" uses the term in an attempt at legitimacy.

"Science Babe" is part of the chemical industry (although she attempts to hide this), pretends to be neutral, and launched a new career attacking people that warned the world her company's product was declared so very dangerous by the WHO as a serious cause of human cancers.

This is not "science" it's "marketing" - it's corporate damage control, "spin doctoring" at the expense of human health for corporate profit.

Attacked by a pesticide safety researcher?

From "Science Babe's" own website, snapshot taken April 6, 2015:
"I am an analytical chemist with a background in forensics and toxicology. Before working full-time as a science writer and public speaker, I worked as a chemistry professor, a toxicology chemist, and in research analyzing pesticides for safety."

...without mentioning who this wokr was done for and paid by. Who has the greatest incentive to prove Monsanto's product safe?

What it says instead today:
The site was launched on facebook and Yvette has been surprised and happy with the site’s early success. The formula of busting pseudoscience with a combination of real science and humor is pure Yvette (and her trusty sidekick, Science Dog).

Yvette holds a B.A. in theatre, a B.S. in chemistry, and an MSc in forensic science with a concentration in biological criminalistics. She currently runs SciBabe full time and resides in Southern California. Views expressed on this site are her own".


In other words, a corporate shill. Which nutrition and public health advocacy organization is trying to get their message across here do you suppose? This is a corporate response disguised as a coincidental freelance article in her area of expertise.
