In: Public opinion quarterly: journal of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, Band 53, Heft Winter 89

Abstract

For more than 10 years, a rumour has been spreading, accusing 10 well-known brands of food products of being toxic and producing cancer. Because of its persistence, extensiveness, and tangible nature, the rumour lends itself to empirical research. Presents the most significant results of a number of studies. (Abstract amended)
