TAP No. 76 - Life & Death & Dope

Responding to a reader who objected to TAP devoting space to drug chemistry, ‘Dr. Atomic’ argues chemistry is among the most powerful technologies available and fits squarely within TAP’s broadened ‘Technological Assistance Program’ mission. As illustrative examples, he discusses BHT, a food-preservative antioxidant some researchers linked to reduced cancer rates and potential life-extension effects, and cites a health-research journal for further reading; for the ‘death’ example, he explicitly declines to describe any specific toxic substance or its use, citing concern for readers and legal liability. The piece closes defending TAP’s role as an alternative-technology forum unwilling to censor topics on the grounds of general-audience sensibility.
