Following this discussion I've learned:

1. Corporations are motivated by passion, not profit.

2. Environmental groups are motivated by profit, not passion. 

3. Corporate scientists don’t suffer from the same human frailties as the rest of the population and would immediately forgo their salaries and break their corporate confidentiality agreements to publicly criticize any product that harms the environment.  

4.When corporations generate fear that economic and social catastrophe would ensue if their products are banned, they are only telling the truth. Any suggestion that those same products might harm the environment is fear-mongering.

5. People who resort to arguments like those above obviously don’t believe in science exceptin of course if they use those arguments themselves.

Thinking this is a strange rabbit hole we have entered.
