Animal Toxicology Tests Inferior to Alternatives
"Even basic toxicology tests on animals aren't serving us well. The Multicenter Evaluation of In-Vitro Cytotoxicity program found that rat and mouse tests were only about 65 percent accurate in predicting lethal blood concentrations in humans. But a combination of human-cell tests and computer modeling predicted chemical toxicity with 80 percent precision."
Cardiologist John D. Pippin, M.D., F.A.C.C.
