18. Junk science and junk journals

If you do the research, you will find that practically all the journal articles published by Mangano are in a journal called, Journal of Environmental Toxicology.

That's Mangano's own journal; it's a journal he publishes himself in order to claim that he has lots of journal articles to impress people.

You need to look for publication in peer-reviewed journals that are associated with a scientific society. If someone is a chemist, then they publish in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, and they have the integrity of the ACS to make sure the quality of science is valid.

But look at what Mangano did with that CounterPunch article. I mean averaging over two different times in order to get different results before / after the Fukushima accident is just downright LAME. It was obvious cherry picking and people caught on to it right away.

NO legitimate scientist would be caught dead FUDGING data like that, and in such an obvious ham-handed method.

Mangano is NO scientist. He puts on the trappings to fool people who don't know real science when they see it.
