Biography
Epstein was born in England, in 1926, and emigrated to the United States in 1960. For ten years he held a position at the Children's Cancer Research Foundation and Harvard University; he then became a distinguished professor at Case Western Reserve University before moving to the University of Illinois in 1976.[4]
In addition to 270 scientific articles, he has published 12 books, and has been active in publicizing claims on the carcinogenic properties of chlordane pesticides,[5] growth hormones in milk,[6] nitrosamines in bacon,[7] saccharin,[8] beverage preservatives,[9] and other food additives.[10] However, his work has attracted criticism from the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, which claimed that his book The Safe Shopper's Bible misleads consumers by labeling safe products as carcinogenic.[11] He is a strong critic of the American Cancer Society. His papers are held at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland.[12]
