@Espiritus_Corvus Yes, I am a major coffee drinker! In the interest of full disclosure, I will also say I have financial interest in a website that sells tea. However I have no relationship with Celestial Seasonings® or its parent company, Hain Celestial Group, other than a consumer who has enjoyed their products for many years.
My concern with this type of “research” is motivation. What is the true motivation of this report from Glaucus? Is it really to inform the public? Or is it to disinform the public, enabling a short sale of Hain stock, therefore enabling Glaucus to make huge profits on the sale.
I researched ten internet articles about Celestial Seasonings’ pesticide content, and each one referred to the Glaucus report, either directly, or to another article that in turn referred to Glaucus, or the laboratory which actually did the research for Glaucus, Eurofins Scientific.
I was able to find refuting research, done at the behest of Hain Celestial, by National Food Lab (NFL).
If there are two sides to an issue, is the side that’s correct the side whose opinion is repeated loudest and most often?
